Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the FLT3 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000004119.3. 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: Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for the cytokine FLT3LG and regulates differentiation, proliferation and survival of hematopoietic progenitor cells and of dendritic cells. Promotes phosphorylation of SHC1 and AKT1, and activation of the downstream effector MTOR. Promotes activation of RAS signaling and phosphorylation of downstream kinases, including MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1. Promotes phosphorylation of FES, FER, PTPN6/SHP, PTPN11/SHP-2, PLCG1, and STAT5A and/or STAT5B. Activation of wild-type FLT3 causes only marginal activation of STAT5A or STAT5B. Mutations that cause constitutive kinase activity promote cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis via the activation of multiple signaling pathways. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10080542, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11090077, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14504097, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16266983, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16627759, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18490735, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20111072, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21067588, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21262971, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21516120, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7507245}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Leukemia, acute myelogenous (AML) [MIM:601626]: A subtype of acute leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. AML is a malignant disease of bone marrow characterized by maturational arrest of hematopoietic precursors at an early stage of development. Clonal expansion of myeloid blasts occurs in bone marrow, blood, and other tissue. Myelogenous leukemias develop from changes in cells that normally produce neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11090077, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11290608, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11442493, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14504097, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16266983, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18305215, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8946930, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9737679}. Note=The gene represented in this entry may be involved in disease pathogenesis. Somatic mutations that lead to constitutive activation of FLT3 are frequent in AML patients. These mutations fall into two classes, the most common being in-frame internal tandem duplications of variable length in the juxtamembrane region that disrupt the normal regulation of the kinase activity. Likewise, point mutations in the activation loop of the kinase domain can result in a constitutively activated kinase.;
