Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the C9 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000001737.5. 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: Constituent of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that plays a key role in the innate and adaptive immune response by forming pores in the plasma membrane of target cells (PubMed:9634479, PubMed:9212048, PubMed:26841934). C9 is the pore- forming subunit of the MAC (PubMed:4055801, PubMed:26841934). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26841934, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4055801, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9212048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9634479}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Complement component 9 deficiency (C9D) [MIM:613825]: A rare defect of the complement classical pathway associated with susceptibility to severe recurrent infections predominantly by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Neisseria meningitidis. Some patients may develop dermatomyositis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9634479}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Macular degeneration, age-related, 15 (ARMD15) [MIM:615591]: A form of age-related macular degeneration, a multifactorial eye disease and the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world. In most patients, the disease is manifest as ophthalmoscopically visible yellowish accumulations of protein and lipid that lie beneath the retinal pigment epithelium and within an elastin-containing structure known as Bruch membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24036952}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
