Variants pathogenicity by type
Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the CENPA gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000001809.4. 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: Histone H3-like nucleosomal protein that is specifically found in centromeric nucleosomes (PubMed:7962047, PubMed:9024683, PubMed:11756469, PubMed:14667408, PubMed:15702419, PubMed:15475964, PubMed:15282608, PubMed:17651496, PubMed:19114591, PubMed:27499292, PubMed:20739937). Replaces conventional H3 in the nucleosome core of centromeric chromatin at the inner plate of the kinetochore (PubMed:18072184). The presence of CENPA subtly modifies the nucleosome structure and the way DNA is wrapped around the nucleosome and gives rise to protruding DNA ends that are less well-ordered and rigid compared to nucleosomes containing histone H3 (PubMed:27499292, PubMed:26878239). May serve as an epigenetic mark that propagates centromere identity through replication and cell division (PubMed:15475964, PubMed:15282608, PubMed:26878239, PubMed:20739937, PubMed:21478274). Required for recruitment and assembly of kinetochore proteins, and as a consequence required for progress through mitosis, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis (PubMed:11756469, PubMed:14667408, PubMed:18072184, PubMed:23818633, PubMed:25556658, PubMed:27499292). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11756469, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14667408, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15282608, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15475964, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15702419, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17651496, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18072184, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19114591, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21478274, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23818633, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25556658, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26878239, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27499292, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7962047, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9024683, ECO:0000305|PubMed:20739937}.;
