Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GHR 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: Receptor for pituitary gland growth hormone involved in regulating postnatal body growth. On ligand binding, couples to the JAK2/STAT5 pathway (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.; FUNCTION: Isoform 2 up-regulates the production of GHBP and acts as a negative inhibitor of GH signaling.;
Disease
DISEASE: Laron syndrome (LARS) [MIM:262500]: A severe form of growth hormone insensitivity characterized by growth impairment, short stature, dysfunctional growth hormone receptor, and failure to generate insulin-like growth factor I in response to growth hormone. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10870033, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14678285, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2779634, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8137822, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8450064, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8504296, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9024232, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9661642, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9851797}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Growth hormone insensitivity, partial (GHIP) [MIM:604271]: A disease characterized by partial resistance to growth hormone resulting in short stature. Short stature is defined by a standing height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean (or below the 2.5 percentile) for sex and chronological age, compared with a well-nourished, healthy, genetically relevant population. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7565946}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
