Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the DOCK8 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000203447.4. 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: Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) which specifically activates small GTPase CDC42 by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP (PubMed:28028151, PubMed:22461490). During immune responses, required for interstitial dendritic cell (DC) migration by locally activating CDC42 at the leading edge membrane of DC (By similarity). Required for CD4(+) T-cell migration in response to chemokine stimulation by promoting CDC42 activation at T cell leading edge membrane (PubMed:28028151). Is involved in NK cell cytotoxicity by controlling polarization of microtubule-organizing center (MTOC), and possibly regulating CCDC88B-mediated lytic granule transport to MTOC during cell killing (PubMed:25762780). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8C147, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22461490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25762780, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28028151}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Hyperimmunoglobulin E recurrent infection syndrome, autosomal recessive (AR-HIES) [MIM:243700]: A rare disorder characterized by immunodeficiency, recurrent infections, eczema, increased serum IgE, eosinophilia and lack of connective tissue and skeletal involvement. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19776401}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Mental retardation, autosomal dominant 2 (MRD2) [MIM:614113]: A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18060736}. Note=The gene represented in this entry is involved in disease pathogenesis. A chromosomal aberration disrupting DOCK8 has been found in a patient with mental retardation and ectodermal dysplasia. A balanced translocation, t(X;9) (q13.1;p24). A genomic deletion of approximately 230 kb in subtelomeric 9p has been detected in a patient with mental retardation.
