Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the ATP7A 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: May supply copper to copper-requiring proteins within the secretory pathway, when localized in the trans-Golgi network. Under conditions of elevated extracellular copper, it relocalized to the plasma membrane where it functions in the efflux of copper from cells.;
Disease
DISEASE: Menkes disease (MNKD) [MIM:309400]: An X-linked recessive disorder of copper metabolism characterized by generalized copper deficiency. MNKD results in progressive neurodegeneration and connective-tissue disturbances: focal cerebral and cerebellar degeneration, early growth retardation, peculiar hair, hypopigmentation, cutis laxa, vascular complications and death in early childhood. The clinical features result from the dysfunction of several copper-dependent enzymes. A mild form of the disease has been described, in which cerebellar ataxia and moderate developmental delay predominate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10079817, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10319589, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10401004, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11241493, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11350187, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15981243, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21667063, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22992316, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7977350, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8981948}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Occipital horn syndrome (OHS) [MIM:304150]: An X-linked recessive disorder of copper metabolism. Common features are unusual facial appearance, skeletal abnormalities, chronic diarrhea and genitourinary defects. The skeletal abnormalities include occipital horns, short, broad clavicles, deformed radii, ulnae and humeri, narrowing of the rib cage, undercalcified long bones with thin cortical walls and coxa valga. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11431706, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17108763, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21667063, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9246006}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Distal spinal muscular atrophy, X-linked, 3 (DSMAX3) [MIM:300489]: A neuromuscular disorder. Distal spinal muscular atrophy, also known as distal hereditary motor neuronopathy, represents a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders caused by selective degeneration of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, without sensory deficit in the posterior horn. The overall clinical picture consists of a classical distal muscular atrophy syndrome in the legs without clinical sensory loss. The disease starts with weakness and wasting of distal muscles of the anterior tibial and peroneal compartments of the legs. Later on, weakness and atrophy may expand to the proximal muscles of the lower limbs and/or to the distal upper limbs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20170900}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
