Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the CAV3 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 act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes. Interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity. May also regulate voltage-gated potassium channels. Plays a role in the sarcolemma repair mechanism of both skeletal muscle and cardiomyocytes that permits rapid resealing of membranes disrupted by mechanical stress (By similarity). Mediates the recruitment of CAVIN2 and CAVIN3 proteins to the caveolae (PubMed:19262564). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51637, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19262564}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 1C (LGMD1C) [MIM:607801]: A degenerative myopathy characterized by calf hypertrophy and mild to moderate proximal muscle weakness. Inheritance can be autosomal dominant or recessive. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11001938, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11532985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12557291, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12939441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15564037, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580566, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9537420}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: HyperCKmia (HYPCK) [MIM:123320]: Characterized by persistent elevated levels of serum creatine kinase without muscle weakness. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10746614, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12082049, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14663034, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15099591, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580566}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Rippling muscle disease 2 (RMD2) [MIM:606072]: A disorder characterized by mechanically triggered contractions of skeletal muscle. Mechanical stimulation leads to electrically silent muscle contractions that spread to neighboring fibers and cause visible ripples to move over the muscle. RMD2 inheritance is autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11431690, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11756609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12557291, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12666119, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15668980, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16458928}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Cardiomyopathy, familial hypertrophic (CMH) [MIM:192600]: A hereditary heart disorder characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, which is usually asymmetric and often involves the interventricular septum. The symptoms include dyspnea, syncope, collapse, palpitations, and chest pain. They can be readily provoked by exercise. The disorder has inter- and intrafamilial variability ranging from benign to malignant forms with high risk of cardiac failure and sudden cardiac death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14672715}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Long QT syndrome 9 (LQT9) [MIM:611818]: A heart disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the ECG and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. They cause syncope and sudden death in response to exercise or emotional stress, and can present with a sentinel event of sudden cardiac death in infancy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17060380, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17275750}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) [MIM:272120]: SIDS is the sudden death of an infant younger than 1 year that remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of clinical history. Pathophysiologic mechanisms for SIDS may include respiratory dysfunction, cardiac dysrhythmias, cardiorespiratory instability, and inborn errors of metabolism, but definitive pathogenic mechanisms precipitating an infant sudden death remain elusive. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17275750}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Myopathy, distal, Tateyama type (MPDT) [MIM:614321]: A disorder characterized by progressive muscular atrophy and muscle weakness beginning in the hands, the legs, or the feet. Muscle atrophy may be restricted to the small muscles of the hands and feet. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11805270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580566}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
