Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GCNT2 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: Branching enzyme that converts linear into branched poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans. Introduces the blood group I antigen during embryonic development. It is closely associated with the development and maturation of erythroid cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7579796, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8449405}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Cataract 13, with adult i phenotype (CTRCT13) [MIM:116700]: An opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye that frequently results in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive. In general, the more posteriorly located and dense an opacity, the greater the impact on visual function. CTRCT13 is associated with the rare adult i phenotype, in which adult red blood cells are rich in i antigen and contain low levels of I antigen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11739194}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
