Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the DMRT1 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: Transcription factor that plays a key role in male sex determination and differentiation by controlling testis development and male germ cell proliferation. Plays a central role in spermatogonia by inhibiting meiosis in undifferentiated spermatogonia and promoting mitosis, leading to spermatogonial development and allowing abundant and continuous production of sperm. Acts both as a transcription repressor and activator: prevents meiosis by restricting retinoic acid (RA)-dependent transcription and repressing STRA8 expression and promotes spermatogonial development by activating spermatogonial differentiation genes, such as SOHLH1. Also plays a key role in postnatal sex maintenance by maintaining testis determination and preventing feminization: represses transcription of female promoting genes such as FOXL2 and activates male-specific genes. May act as a tumor suppressor. May also play a minor role in oogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) [MIM:273300]: A common malignancy in males representing 95% of all testicular neoplasms. TGCTs have various pathologic subtypes including: unclassified intratubular germ cell neoplasia, seminoma (including cases with syncytiotrophoblastic cells), spermatocytic seminoma, embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor, choriocarcinoma, and teratoma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20543847}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: 46,XY sex reversal 4 (SRXY4) [MIM:154230]: A condition characterized by male-to-female sex reversal in the presence of a normal 46,XY karyotype. Patients display complete or partial gonadal dysgenesis and a chromosome 9p deletion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21048976, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9490411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9718346}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
