Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the DNMT3B gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000006892.4. 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: Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones. May preferentially methylates nucleosomal DNA within the nucleosome core region. May function as transcriptional co- repressor by associating with CBX4 and independently of DNA methylation. Seems to be involved in gene silencing (By similarity). In association with DNMT1 and via the recruitment of CTCFL/BORIS, involved in activation of BAG1 gene expression by modulating dimethylation of promoter histone H3 at H3K4 and H3K9. Isoforms 4 and 5 are probably not functional due to the deletion of two conserved methyltransferase motifs. Function as transcriptional corepressor by associating with ZHX1. Required for DUX4 silencing in somatic cells (PubMed:27153398). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16357870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17303076, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18413740, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18567530, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27153398}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome 1 (ICF1) [MIM:242860]: A rare disorder characterized by a variable immunodeficiency resulting in recurrent infections, facial anomalies, and branching of chromosomes 1, 9, and 16. Other variable symptoms include growth retardation, failure to thrive, and psychomotor retardation. Laboratory studies show limited hypomethylation of DNA in a small fraction of the genome in some, but not all, patients. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10555141, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10588719, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10647011, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11102980, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580563, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21120685, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27734333}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy 2 (FSHD2) [MIM:158901]: A degenerative muscle disease characterized by slowly progressive weakness of the muscles of the face, upper-arm, and shoulder girdle. The onset of symptoms usually occurs in the first or second decade of life. Affected individuals usually present with impairment of upper extremity elevation. This tends to be followed by facial weakness, primarily involving the orbicularis oris and orbicularis oculi muscles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27153398}. Note=The gene represented in this entry may act as a disease modifier. DNMT3B mutations lead to DUX4 expression in somatic tissues, including muscle cells, when an haplotype on chromosome 4 is permissive for DUX4 expression. Ectopic expression of DUX4 in skeletal muscle activates the expression of stem cell and germline genes, and, when overexpressed in somatic cells, DUX4 can ultimately lead to cell death.;
