Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the CNTNAP2 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000014141.6. 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: Required, with CNTNAP1, for radial and longitudinal organization of myelinated axons. Plays a role in the formation of functional distinct domains critical for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses in myelinated nerve fibers. Demarcates the juxtaparanodal region of the axo-glial junction. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9CPW0}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving CNTNAP2 is found in a patient with autism spectrum disorder. Paracentric inversion 46,XY,inv(7)(q11.22;q35). The inversion breakpoints disrupt the genes AUTS2 and CNTNAP2.; DISEASE: Pitt-Hopkins-like syndrome 1 (PTHSL1) [MIM:610042]: A syndrome characterized by severe mental retardation and variable additional symptoms, such as impaired speech development, seizures, autistic behavior, breathing anomalies and a broad mouth, resembling Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. In contrast to patients with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, PTHSL1 patients present with normal or only mildly to moderately delayed motor milestones. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16571880, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19896112}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
