Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the ASPN gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: . Only rare variants are included in the table.

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: Negatively regulates periodontal ligament (PDL) differentiation and mineralization to ensure that the PDL is not ossified and to maintain homeostasis of the tooth-supporting system. Inhibits BMP2-induced cytodifferentiation of PDL cells by preventing its binding to BMPR1B/BMP type-1B receptor, resulting in inhibition of BMP-dependent activation of SMAD proteins (By similarity). Critical regulator of TGF-beta in articular cartilage and plays an essential role in cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. Negatively regulates chondrogenesis in the articular cartilage by blocking the TGF- beta/receptor interaction on the cell surface and inhibiting the canonical TGF-beta/Smad signal. Binds calcium and plays a role in osteoblast-driven collagen biomineralization activity. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17827158, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19589127}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Osteoarthritis 3 (OS3) [MIM:607850]: A degenerative disease of the joints characterized by degradation of the hyaline articular cartilage and remodeling of the subchondral bone with sclerosis. Clinical symptoms include pain and joint stiffness often leading to significant disability and joint replacement. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Susceptibility to osteoarthritis is conferred by a triplet repeat expansion polymorphism. ASPN allele having 14 aspartic acid repeats in the N-terminal region of the protein (D14), is overrepresented relative to the common allele having 13 aspartic acid repeats (D13). The frequency of the D14 allele increases with disease severity. The D14 allele is also overrepresented in individuals with hip osteoarthritis.; DISEASE: Intervertebral disc disease (IDD) [MIM:603932]: A common musculo-skeletal disorder caused by degeneration of intervertebral disks of the lumbar spine. It results in low-back pain and unilateral leg pain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18304494}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Susceptibility to intervertebral disk disease, particularly lumbar disk degeneration, is conferred by a triplet repeat expansion polymorphism. ASPN allele having 14 aspartic acid repeats in the N-terminal region of the protein (D14), is associated with the disorder in some populations (PubMed:18304494). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18304494}.
