Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the BSCL2 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_001122955.4. 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: Is a regulator of lipid catabolism essential for adipocyte differentiation. May also be involved in the central regulation of energy homeostasis (By similarity). Necessary for correct lipid storage and lipid droplets maintenance; may play a tissue-autonomous role in controlling lipid storage in adipocytes and in preventing ectopic lipid droplet formation in non-adipose tissues. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19278620, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21533227}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Spastic paraplegia 17, autosomal dominant (SPG17) [MIM:270685]: A form of spastic paraplegia, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms are quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. SPG17 is characterized by prominent amyotrophy of the hand muscles, the presence of mild to severe pyramidal tract signs and spastic paraplegia. SPG17 is a motor neuron disease overlapping with distal spinal muscular atrophy type 5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14981520, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17663003, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18585921, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24604904}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, 5A (HMN5A) [MIM:600794]: A disorder characterized by distal muscular atrophy mainly affecting the upper extremities, in contrast to other distal motor neuronopathies. These constitute a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular diseases 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:14981520, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17663003}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Encephalopathy, progressive, with or without lipodystrophy (PELD) [MIM:615924]: A neurodegenerative disease characterized by developmental regression of motor and cognitive skills in the first years of life, often leading to death in the first decade, hyperactive behavior, seizures, tremor and ataxic gait. Patients may show a mild or typical lipodystrophic appearance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23564749}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
