Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the FAT4 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_001291303.3. 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: Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. FAT4 plays a role in the maintenance of planar cell polarity as well as in inhibition of YAP1-mediated neuroprogenitor cell proliferation and differentiation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Van Maldergem syndrome 2 (VMLDS2) [MIM:615546]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intellectual disability, typical craniofacial features, auditory malformations resulting in hearing loss, and skeletal and limb malformations. Some patients have renal hypoplasia. Brain MRI typically shows periventricular nodular heterotopia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24056717}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Hennekam lymphangiectasia-lymphedema syndrome 2 (HKLLS2) [MIM:616006]: A form of Hennekam lymphangiectasia-lymphedema syndrome, a generalized lymph-vessels dysplasia characterized by intestinal lymphangiectasia with severe lymphedema of the limbs, genitalia and face. In addition, affected individuals have unusual facies and severe mental retardation. HKLLS2 individuals have lymphangiectasia variably affecting the gut, pericardium, lungs, kidneys, and genitalia. Other features include camptodactyly and rare syndactyly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24913602}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
