Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the DDB2 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: Required for DNA repair. Binds to DDB1 to form the UV- damaged DNA-binding protein complex (the UV-DDB complex). The UV- DDB complex may recognize UV-induced DNA damage and recruit proteins of the nucleotide excision repair pathway (the NER pathway) to initiate DNA repair. The UV-DDB complex preferentially binds to cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), 6-4 photoproducts (6-4 PP), apurinic sites and short mismatches. Also appears to function as the substrate recognition module for the DCX (DDB1- CUL4-X-box) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex DDB1-CUL4-ROC1 (also known as CUL4-DDB-ROC1 and CUL4-DDB-RBX1). The DDB1-CUL4- ROC1 complex may ubiquitinate histone H2A, histone H3 and histone H4 at sites of UV-induced DNA damage. The ubiquitination of histones may facilitate their removal from the nucleosome and promote subsequent DNA repair. The DDB1-CUL4-ROC1 complex also ubiquitinates XPC, which may enhance DNA-binding by XPC and promote NER. Isoform D1 and isoform D2 inhibit UV-damaged DNA repair. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10882109, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11278856, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11705987, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12732143, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12944386, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14751237, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15882621, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16260596, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16473935, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16678110, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18593899, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9892649}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group E (XP-E) [MIM:278740]: An autosomal recessive pigmentary skin disorder characterized by solar hypersensitivity of the skin, high predisposition for developing cancers on areas exposed to sunlight and, in some cases, neurological abnormalities. The skin develops marked freckling and other pigmentation abnormalities. XP-E patients show a mild phenotype with minimal or no neurologic features. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8798680}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
