ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_033064.5. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Functions in the development of neural tissues, particularly the postnatal maturation of the cerebellar cortex. May play a role in neurotransmission through regulation of glutaminase/GLS, an enzyme responsible for the production in neurons of the glutamate neurotransmitter. Alternatively, may regulate the localization of mitochondria within axons and dendrites. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16899818}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Cerebellar ataxia, cayman type (ATCAY) [MIM:601238]: Found in a population isolate on Grand Cayman Island and causes a marked psychomotor retardation and prominent nonprogressive cerebellar dysfunction including nystagmus, intention tremor, dysarthria, and wide-based ataxic gait. Hypotonia is present from early childhood. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14556008}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
