Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the ECEL1 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 contribute to the degradation of peptide hormones and be involved in the inactivation of neuronal peptides.
• Disease: DISEASE: Arthrogryposis, distal, 5D (DA5D) [MIM:615065]: An autosomal recessive form of distal arthrogryposis, a disease characterized by congenital joint contractures that mainly involve two or more distal parts of the limbs, in the absence of a primary neurological or muscle disease. DA5D is characterized by severe camptodactyly of the hands, mild camptodactyly of the toes, clubfoot and/or a calcaneovalgus deformity, extension contractures of the knee, unilateral ptosis or ptosis that is more severe on one side, a round-shaped face, arched eyebrows, a bulbous upturned nose, and micrognathia. Patients do not have ophthalmoplegia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23236030, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23261301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23808592, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23829171}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. ECEL1 mutations have also been found in patients with arthrogryposis, significant ophthalmoplegia, and refractive errors (PubMed:23808592). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23808592}.
