Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the HOXB1 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000002144.4. 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: Sequence-specific transcription factor which is part of a developmental regulatory system that provides cells with specific positional identities on the anterior-posterior axis. Acts on the anterior body structures.;
Disease: DISEASE: Facial paresis, hereditary congenital, 3 (HCFP3) [MIM:614744]: A form of facial paresis, a disease characterized by isolated dysfunction of the facial nerve (CN VII). HCFP3 patients are affected by bilateral facial palsy, facial muscle weakness of muscles innervated by CN VII, hearing loss, and strabismus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22770981}.
