Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GFI1 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: Transcription repressor essential for hematopoiesis. Functions in a cell-context and development-specific manner. Binds to 5'-TAAATCAC[AT]GCA-3' in the promoter region of a large number of genes. Component of several complexes, including the EHMT2- GFI1-HDAC1, AJUBA-GFI1-HDAC1 and RCOR-GFI-KDM1A-HDAC complexes, that suppress, via histone deacetylase (HDAC) recruitment, a number of genes implicated in multilineage blood cell development. Regulates neutrophil differentiation, promotes proliferation of lymphoid cells, and is required for granulocyte development. Mediates, together with U2AF1L4, the alternative splicing of CD45 and controls T-cell receptor signaling. Regulates the endotoxin- mediated Toll-like receptor (TLR) inflammatory response by antagonizing RELA. Cooperates with CBFA2T2 to regulate ITGB1- dependent neurite growth. Controls cell-cycle progression by repressing CDKNIA/p21 transcription in response to TGFB1 via recruitment of GFI1 by ZBTB17 to the CDKNIA/p21 and CDKNIB promoters. Required for the maintenance of inner ear hair cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11060035, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12778173, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16287849, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17197705, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17646546, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18805794, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19026687, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19164764, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20190815, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547752, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8754800}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Neutropenia, severe congenital 2, autosomal dominant (SCN2) [MIM:613107]: A disorder of hematopoiesis characterized by maturation arrest of granulopoiesis at the level of promyelocytes with peripheral blood absolute neutrophil counts below 0.5 x 10(9)/l and early onset of severe bacterial infections. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12778173}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Dominant nonimmune chronic idiopathic neutropenia of adults (NI-CINA) [MIM:607847]: Relatively mild form of neutropenia diagnosed in adults, but predisposing to leukemia in a subset of patients. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12778173}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
