Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the AURKC gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_001015878.2. 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: Serine/threonine-protein kinase component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), a complex that acts as a key regulator of mitosis. The CPC complex has essential functions at the centromere in ensuring correct chromosome alignment and segregation and is required for chromatin-induced microtubule stabilization and spindle assembly. Plays also a role in meiosis and more particularly in spermatogenesis. Has redundant cellular functions with AURKB and can rescue an AURKB knockdown. Like AURKB, AURKC phosphorylates histone H3 at 'Ser-10' and 'Ser-28'. AURKC phosphorylates the CPC complex subunits BIRC5/survivin and INCENP leading to increased AURKC activity. Phosphorylates TACC1, another protein involved in cell division, at 'Ser-228'. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15316025, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15499654, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15670791, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15938719, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21493633, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21531210, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27332895}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Spermatogenic failure 5 (SPGF5) [MIM:243060]: An infertility disorder caused by spermatogenesis defects. Semen from affected men show close to 100% morphologically abnormal multiflagellar spermatozoa with low motility, oversized irregular heads, and abnormal midpiece and acrosome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17435757, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21733974}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
