Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the ERF gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000006494.4. 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: Potent transcriptional repressor that binds to the H1 element of the Ets2 promoter. May regulate other genes involved in cellular proliferation. Required for extraembryonic ectoderm differentiation, ectoplacental cone cavity closure, and chorioallantoic attachment (By similarity). May be important for regulating trophoblast stem cell differentiation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.;
Disease: DISEASE: Craniosynostosis 4 (CRS4) [MIM:600775]: A primary abnormality of skull growth involving premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. The growth velocity of the skull often cannot match that of the developing brain resulting in an abnormal head shape and, in some cases, increased intracranial pressure, which must be treated promptly to avoid permanent neurodevelopmental disability. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23354439}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Chitayat syndrome (CHYTS) [MIM:617180]: An autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by hyperphalangism, partial syndactyly, bilateral accessory phalanx resulting in shortened index fingers, hallux valgus, brachydactyly, facial anomalies, diffuse bronchomalacia, and respiratory distress at birth and in infancy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27738187}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
