Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the EHMT1 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: Histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. H3K9me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 proteins to methylated histones. Also weakly methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3 (H3K27me). Also required for DNA methylation, the histone methyltransferase activity is not required for DNA methylation, suggesting that these 2 activities function independently. Probably targeted to histone H3 by different DNA-binding proteins like E2F6, MGA, MAX and/or DP1. During G0 phase, it probably contributes to silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes, suggesting a role in G0/G1 transition in cell cycle. In addition to the histone methyltransferase activity, also methylates non- histone proteins: mediates dimethylation of 'Lys-373' of p53/TP53. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12004135, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20118233}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Kleefstra syndrome 1 (KLEFS1) [MIM:610253]: A form of Kleefstra syndrome, an autosomal dominant disease characterized by variable mental retardation, psychomotor developmental delay, seizures, behavioral abnormalities, and facial dysmorphisms. KLEFS1 patients additionally manifest brachy(micro)cephaly, congenital heart defects, and urogenital defects. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16826528, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19264732}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry (PubMed:16826528). The syndrome can be either caused by intragenic EHMT1 mutations leading to haploinsufficiency of the EHMT1 gene or by a submicroscopic 9q34.3 deletion. Although it is not known if and to what extent other genes in the 9q34.3 region contribute to the syndrome observed in deletion cases, EHMT1 seems to be the major determinant of the core disease phenotype (PubMed:19264732). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16826528, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19264732}.;
