Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the CPOX gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000000097.7. 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: Involved in the heme biosynthesis. Catalyzes the aerobic oxidative decarboxylation of propionate groups of rings A and B of coproporphyrinogen-III to yield the vinyl groups in protoporphyrinogen-IX.
• Disease: DISEASE: Hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) [MIM:121300]: A form of porphyria. Porphyrias are inherited defects in the biosynthesis of heme, resulting in the accumulation and increased excretion of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors. They are classified as erythropoietic or hepatic, depending on whether the enzyme deficiency occurs in red blood cells or in the liver. Hereditary coproporphyria is an acute hepatic porphyria characterized by skin photosensitivity, attacks of abdominal pain, neurological disturbances, and psychiatric symptoms. Most attacks are precipitated by drugs, alcohol, caloric deprivation, infections, or endocrine factors. Hereditary coproporphyria is biochemically characterized by overexcretion of coproporphyrin III in the urine and in the feces. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12181641, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15896662, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16398658, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7757079, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7849704, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8012360, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8990017, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9048920, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9298818, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9888388}.
