Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the CTLA4 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: Inhibitory receptor acting as a major negative regulator of T-cell responses. The affinity of CTLA4 for its natural B7 family ligands, CD80 and CD86, is considerably stronger than the affinity of their cognate stimulatory coreceptor CD28. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16551244, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1714933}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [MIM:152700]: A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15138458, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15688186}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Note=Genetic variations in CTLA4 may influence susceptibility to Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder associated with overactivity of the thyroid gland and hyperthyroidism. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10924276}.; DISEASE: Diabetes mellitus, insulin-dependent, 12 (IDDM12) [MIM:601388]: A multifactorial disorder of glucose homeostasis that is characterized by susceptibility to ketoacidosis in the absence of insulin therapy. Clinical features are polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria which result from hyperglycemia-induced osmotic diuresis and secondary thirst. These derangements result in long-term complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9259273}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Celiac disease 3 (CELIAC3) [MIM:609755]: A multifactorial, chronic disorder of the small intestine caused by intolerance to gluten. It is characterized by immune-mediated enteropathy associated with failed intestinal absorption, and malnutrition. In predisposed individuals, the ingestion of gluten- containing food such as wheat and rye induces a flat jejunal mucosa with infiltration of lymphocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10189842, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15657618}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome 5 (ALPS5) [MIM:616100]: An autosomal dominant primary immunodeficiency characterized by severe autoimmunity, infiltration of non-lymphoid organs, such as the intestine, lungs and brain, by hyperactive T cells and B cells, autoimmune cytopenias, and hypogammaglobulinemia in early childhood. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25213377, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25329329}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
