Somatic RAP1B gain-of-function variant underlies isolated thrombocytopenia and immunodeficiency
11 Jul 2024
Abstract excerpt
The ubiquitously expressed small GTPase Ras-related protein 1B (RAP1B) acts as a molecular switch that regulates cell signaling, cytoskeletal remodeling, and cell trafficking and activates integrins in platelets and lymphocytes. The residue G12 in the P-loop is required for the RAP1B-GTPase conformational switch. Heterozygous germline RAP1B variants have been described in patients with syndromic thrombocytopenia....
