Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the ACTA1 gene is commonly pathogenic or not.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

• Function: FUNCTION: Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells.
• Disease: DISEASE: Nemaline myopathy 3 (NEM3) [MIM:161800]: A form of nemaline myopathy. Nemaline myopathies are muscular disorders characterized by muscle weakness of varying severity and onset, and abnormal thread-like or rod-shaped structures in muscle fibers on histologic examination. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10508519, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11166164, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11333380, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15198992, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15236405, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15336687, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15520409, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16427282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16945537, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17705262, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22442437, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23650303, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25938801}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Myopathy, actin, congenital, with excess of thin myofilaments (MPCETM) [MIM:161800]: A congenital muscular disorder characterized at histological level by areas of sarcoplasm devoid of normal myofibrils and mitochondria, and replaced with dense masses of thin filaments. Central cores, rods, ragged red fibers, and necrosis are absent. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10508519}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Myopathy, congenital, with fiber-type disproportion (CFTD) [MIM:255310]: A genetically heterogeneous disorder in which there is relative hypotrophy of type 1 muscle fibers compared to type 2 fibers on skeletal muscle biopsy. However, these findings are not specific and can be found in many different myopathic and neuropathic conditions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15468086, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17387733}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Myopathy, scapulohumeroperoneal (SHPM) [MIM:616852]: An autosomal dominant muscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness with initial scapulo-humeral-peroneal and distal distribution. Over time, muscle weakness progresses to proximal muscle groups. Clinical characteristics include scapular winging, mild lower facial weakness, foot drop due to foot eversion and dorsiflexion weakness, and selective muscle atrophy. Age at onset and disease progression are variable. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25938801}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
