ClinVar

This is a list of variants' phenotypes submitted to ClinVar and linked to the DCAF8 gene.

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the DCAF8 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: May function as a substrate receptor for CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16949367, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16964240}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Giant axonal neuropathy 2, autosomal dominant (GAN2) [MIM:610100]: An autosomal dominant peripheral axonal neuropathy characterized by onset of distal sensory impairment with lower extremity muscle weakness and atrophy after the second decade. Clinical features include foot deformities apparent in childhood, and cardiomyopathy in severely affected individuals. Sural nerve biopsy shows giant axonal swelling with neurofilament accumulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24500646}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
