Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the ETFB 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:25416781, PubMed:15159392, PubMed:15975918). It transfers the electrons to the main mitochondrial respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Probable). Required for normal mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and normal amino acid metabolism (PubMed:12815589, PubMed:7912128). ETFB binds an AMP molecule that probably has a purely structural role (PubMed:8962055, PubMed:15159392, PubMed:15975918). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12815589, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15159392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15975918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25416781, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7912128, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8962055, ECO:0000303|PubMed:17941859, ECO:0000305}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Glutaric aciduria 2B (GA2B) [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:7912128}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
