Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the CLCN7 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000001287.6. 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: Slowly voltage-gated channel mediating the exchange of chloride ions against protons. Functions as antiporter and contributes to the acidification of the lysosome lumen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18449189, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21527911}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Osteopetrosis, autosomal dominant 2 (OPTA2) [MIM:166600]: A rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. Osteopetrosis occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. OPTA2 is the most common form of osteopetrosis, occurring in adolescence or adulthood. It is characterized by sclerosis, predominantly involving the spine, the pelvis and the skull base. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11741829, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14584882, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19288050, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19953639, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26395888}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Osteopetrosis, autosomal recessive 2 (OPTB2) [MIM:259710]: A rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. Osteopetrosis occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Recessive osteopetrosis commonly manifests in early infancy with macrocephaly, feeding difficulties, evolving blindness and deafness, bone marrow failure, severe anemia, and hepatosplenomegaly. Deafness and blindness are generally thought to represent effects of pressure on nerves. OPTB2 is characterized by paucity of osteoclasts, suggesting a molecular defect in osteoclast development. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26395888}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
