Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the CDH3 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000001793.6. 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: Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types.;
Disease: DISEASE: Hypotrichosis congenital with juvenile macular dystrophy (HJMD) [MIM:601553]: A disorder characterized by congenital hypotrichosis, early hair loss, and severe degenerative changes of the retinal macula that culminate in blindness during the second to third decade of life. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11544476, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12445216}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Ectodermal dysplasia, ectrodactyly, and macular dystrophy syndrome (EEMS) [MIM:225280]: A form of ectodermal dysplasia, a heterogeneous group of disorders due to abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structures. It is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by features of ectodermal dysplasia such as sparse eyebrows and scalp hair, and selective tooth agenesis associated with macular dystrophy and ectrodactyly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15805154}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
