This is a list of variants' phenotypes submitted to ClinVar and linked to the GSC gene.

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GSC 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: Regulates chordin (CHRD). May play a role in spatial programing within discrete embryonic fields or lineage compartments during organogenesis. In concert with NKX3-2, plays a role in defining the structural components of the middle ear; required for the development of the entire tympanic ring (By similarity). Probably involved in the regulatory networks that define neural crest cell fate specification and determine mesoderm cell lineages in mammals. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24290375}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Short stature, auditory canal atresia, mandibular hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities (SAMS) [MIM:602471]: An autosomal recessive developmental disorder with features of a first and second branchial arch syndrome, and with unique rhizomelic skeletal anomalies. Craniofacial abnormalities can lead to conductive hearing loss, respiratory insufficiency, and feeding difficulties. Skeletal features include bilateral humeral hypoplasia, humeroscapular synostosis, pelvic abnormalities, and proximal defects of the femora. Affected individuals may also have some features of a neurocristopathy or abnormal mesoderm development, such as urogenital anomalies, that are distinct from other branchial arch syndromes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24290375}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
