Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the COQ6 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: FAD-dependent monooxygenase required for the C5-ring hydroxylation during ubiquinone biosynthesis. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of 3-polyprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid to 3- polyprenyl-4,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The electrons required for the hydroxylation reaction may be funneled indirectly from NADPH via a ferredoxin/ferredoxin reductase system to COQ6. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03193}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Note=Mutations in COQ6 may play a role in susceptibility to Schwannomatosis, a cancer predisposition syndrome in which patients develop multiple non-vestibular schwannomas, benign neoplasms that arise from Schwann cells of the cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24763291}.
