Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GATA2 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: Transcriptional activator which regulates endothelin-1 gene expression in endothelial cells. Binds to the consensus sequence 5'-AGATAG-3'.;
Disease
DISEASE: Lymphedema, primary, with myelodysplasia (LMPM) [MIM:614038]: A chronic disabling condition characterized by swelling of the extremities due to altered lymphatic flow, associated with myelodysplasia. Patients with lymphedema suffer from recurrent local infections, and physical impairment. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21892158}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) [MIM:614286]: A heterogeneous group of closely related clonal hematopoietic disorders. All are characterized by a hypercellular or hypocellular bone marrow with impaired morphology and maturation, dysplasia of the myeloid, megakaryocytic and/or erythroid lineages, and peripheral blood cytopenias resulting from ineffective blood cell production. Included diseases are: refractory anemia (RA), refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS), refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB), refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia and ringed sideroblasts (RCMD-RS); chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disease. MDS is considered a premalignant condition in a subgroup of patients that often progresses to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21892162}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
