Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the CNTN2 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: In conjunction with another transmembrane protein, CNTNAP2, contributes to the organization of axonal domains at nodes of Ranvier by maintaining voltage-gated potassium channels at the juxtaparanodal region. May be involved in cell adhesion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23518707}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Epilepsy, familial adult myoclonic, 5 (FAME5) [MIM:615400]: A form of cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy, a syndrome characterized by cortical myoclonus and variable occurrence of epileptic seizures. Usually, myoclonic tremor is the presenting symptom, characterized by tremulous finger movements and myoclonic jerks of the limbs increased by action and posture. In a minority of patients, seizures are the presenting symptom; both complex partial as well as generalized tonic clonic seizures are described. Some patients exhibit mild cognitive impairment. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23518707}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
