Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GPHN 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: Microtubule-associated protein involved in membrane protein-cytoskeleton interactions. It is thought to anchor the inhibitory glycine receptor (GLYR) to subsynaptic microtubules. Catalyzes two steps in the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor. In the first step, molybdopterin is adenylated. Subsequently, molybdate is inserted into adenylated molybdopterin and AMP is released. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26613940}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Molybdenum cofactor deficiency, complementation group C (MOCODC) [MIM:615501]: A form of molybdenum cofactor deficiency, an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder leading to the pleiotropic loss of molybdoenzyme activities. It is clinically characterized by onset in infancy of poor feeding, intractable seizures, severe psychomotor retardation, and death in early childhood in most patients. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11095995, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22040219, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26613940}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
