Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GUCY2D 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: Probably plays a specific functional role in the rods and/or cones of photoreceptors. It may be the enzyme involved in the resynthesis of cGMP required for recovery of the dark state after phototransduction.
• Disease: DISEASE: Cone-rod dystrophy 6 (CORD6) [MIM:601777]: An inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination, predominantly in the macular region, and initial loss of cone photoreceptors followed by rod degeneration. This leads to decreased visual acuity and sensitivity in the central visual field, followed by loss of peripheral vision. Severe loss of vision occurs earlier than in retinitis pigmentosa, due to cone photoreceptors degenerating at a higher rate than rod photoreceptors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12552567, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15111605, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18332321, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18487367, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20517349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21552474, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22194653, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23734073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24480840, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9618177, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9683616}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Choroidal dystrophy, central areolar, 1 (CACD1) [MIM:215500]: A form of central areolar choroidal dystrophy, a retinal disease that affects the macula and results in a well- demarcated circumscribed area of atrophy of the pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris. CACD1 inheritance is autosomal recessive. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22695961}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
