Though onset of malignancy is typically described in adulthood, some individuals have been affected at an earlier age; Germline variants have also been implicated in chondrosarcoma

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the EXT2 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000207122.2. 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: Glycosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of heparan-sulfate. The EXT1/EXT2 complex possesses substantially higher glycosyltransferase activity than EXT1 or EXT2 alone. Appears to be a tumor suppressor. Required for the exosomal release of SDCBP, CD63 and syndecan (PubMed:22660413). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22660413}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Potocki-Shaffer syndrome (POSHS) [MIM:601224]: A syndrome characterized by foramina parietalia permagna, multiple exostoses, and craniofacial dysostosis and mental retardation in some cases. Note=The gene represented in this entry is involved in disease pathogenesis.; DISEASE: Seizures, scoliosis, and macrocephaly syndrome (SSMS) [MIM:616682]: An autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by seizures, intellectual disability, hypotonia, scoliosis, macrocephaly, hypertelorism and renal dysfunction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26246518}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
