Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the CST3 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000000099.4. 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: As an inhibitor of cysteine proteinases, this protein is thought to serve an important physiological role as a local regulator of this enzyme activity.;
Disease
DISEASE: Amyloidosis 6 (AMYL6) [MIM:105150]: A hereditary generalized amyloidosis due to cystatin C amyloid deposition. Cystatin C amyloid accumulates in the walls of arteries, arterioles, and sometimes capillaries and veins of the brain, and in various organs including lymphoid tissue, spleen, salivary glands, and seminal vesicles. Amyloid deposition in the cerebral vessels results in cerebral amyloid angiopathy, cerebral hemorrhage and premature stroke. Cystatin C levels in the cerebrospinal fluid are abnormally low. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1352269, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2541223}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Macular degeneration, age-related, 11 (ARMD11) [MIM:611953]: A form of age-related macular degeneration, a multifactorial eye disease and the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world. In most patients, the disease is manifest as ophthalmoscopically visible yellowish accumulations of protein and lipid that lie beneath the retinal pigment epithelium and within an elastin-containing structure known as Bruch membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11815350, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19838169, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2764935}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
