TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional     --low  
in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
constitutional     --low  
plasma APOM levels were reduced in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5D as compared to patients with CKD stages 1 + 2 and controls
tumoral     --over  
mRNA levels in the colorectal cancer tissues were significantly increased in the patients with lymph node metastasis

in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues
Susceptibility
  • to venous thromboembolism (VTE)
  • Variant & Polymorphism
  • APOM rs805297 was significantly associated with higher risk of VTE recurrence in male but not in female patients
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • potential for APOM/S1P as biomarkers for inflammation, sepsis and nephropathy
  • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • lack of Apom in mice increases the amount of brown adipose tissue (BAT), accelerates the clearance of postprandial triglycerides, and protects against diet-induced obesity
