Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the ETFA 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: Heterodimeric electron transfer flavoprotein that accepts electrons from several mitochondrial dehydrogenases, including acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, glutaryl-CoA and sarcosine dehydrogenase (PubMed:27499296, PubMed:15159392, PubMed:15975918, PubMed:9334218, PubMed:10356313). It transfers the electrons to the main mitochondrial respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF dehydrogenase) (PubMed:9334218). Required for normal mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and normal amino acid metabolism (PubMed:12815589, PubMed:1882842, PubMed:1430199). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10356313, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12815589, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1430199, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15159392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15975918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27499296, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9334218, ECO:0000303|PubMed:17941859, ECO:0000305|PubMed:1882842}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Glutaric aciduria 2A (GA2A) [MIM:231680]: An autosomal recessively inherited disorder of fatty acid, amino acid, and choline metabolism. It is characterized by multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies resulting in large excretion not only of glutaric acid, but also of lactic, ethylmalonic, butyric, isobutyric, 2-methyl-butyric, and isovaleric acids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12815589, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1430199, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1882842, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9334218}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
• Pathway: Respiratory electron transport;The citric acid (TCA) cycle and respiratory electron transport;Metabolism;Respiratory electron transport, ATP synthesis by chemiosmotic coupling, and heat production by uncoupling proteins. (Consensus)
