Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the HMX1 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000018942.3. Only rare variants are included in the table.

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: DNA-binding protein that binds to the 5'-CAAG-3' core sequence. May function as a transcriptional repressor. Seems to act as a transcriptional antagonist of NKX2-5. May play an important role in the development of craniofacial structures such as the eye and ear. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10206974}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Oculoauricular syndrome (OCACS) [MIM:612109]: A syndrome characterized by microphthalmia, microcornea, anterior segment dysgenesis, cataract, ocular coloboma, retinal pigment epithelium abnormalities, rod-cone dystrophy, and anomalies of the external ear. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18423520}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
