Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the HDAC8 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: Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes. Also involved in the deacetylation of cohesin complex protein SMC3 regulating release of cohesin complexes from chromatin. May play a role in smooth muscle cell contractility. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10748112, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10922473, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10926844, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14701748, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22885700}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Cornelia de Lange syndrome 5 (CDLS5) [MIM:300882]: A form of Cornelia de Lange syndrome, a clinically heterogeneous developmental disorder associated with malformations affecting multiple systems. It is characterized by facial dysmorphisms, abnormal hands and feet, growth delay, cognitive retardation, hirsutism, gastroesophageal dysfunction and cardiac, ophthalmologic and genitourinary anomalies. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22885700}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Wilson-Turner X-linked mental retardation syndrome (WTS) [MIM:309585]: A neurologic disorder characterized by severe intellectual disability, dysmorphic facial features, hypogonadism, short stature, and truncal obesity. Affected females have a milder phenotype than affected males. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22889856}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
