Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the HSF1 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: Function as a stress-inducible and DNA-binding transcription factor that plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of the heat shock response (HSR), leading to the expression of a large class of molecular chaperones heat shock proteins (HSPs) that protect cells from cellular insults' damage (PubMed:1871105, PubMed:11447121, PubMed:1986252, PubMed:7760831, PubMed:7623826, PubMed:8946918, PubMed:8940068, PubMed:9341107, PubMed:9121459, PubMed:9727490, PubMed:9499401, PubMed:9535852, PubMed:12659875, PubMed:12917326, PubMed:15016915, PubMed:25963659, PubMed:26754925). In unstressed cells, is present in a HSP90-containing multichaperone complex that maintains it in a non-DNA-binding inactivated monomeric form (PubMed:9727490, PubMed:11583998, PubMed:16278218). Upon exposure to heat and other stress stimuli, undergoes homotrimerization and activates HSP gene transcription through binding to site-specific heat shock elements (HSEs) present in the promoter regions of HSP genes (PubMed:1871105, PubMed:1986252, PubMed:8455624, PubMed:7935471, PubMed:7623826, PubMed:8940068, PubMed:9727490, PubMed:9499401, PubMed:10359787, PubMed:11583998, PubMed:12659875, PubMed:16278218, PubMed:25963659, PubMed:26754925). Activation is reversible, and during the attenuation and recovery phase period of the HSR, returns to its unactivated form (PubMed:11583998, PubMed:16278218). Binds to inverted 5'-NGAAN-3' pentamer DNA sequences (PubMed:1986252, PubMed:26727489). Binds to chromatin at heat shock gene promoters (PubMed:25963659). Plays also several other functions independently of its transcriptional activity. Involved in the repression of Ras-induced transcriptional activation of the c-fos gene in heat-stressed cells (PubMed:9341107). Positively regulates pre-mRNA 3'-end processing and polyadenylation of HSP70 mRNA upon heat-stressed cells in a symplekin (SYMPK)-dependent manner (PubMed:14707147). Plays a role in nuclear export of stress-induced HSP70 mRNA (PubMed:17897941). Plays a role in the regulation of mitotic progression (PubMed:18794143). Plays also a role as a negative regulator of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair activity in a DNA damage- dependent manner (PubMed:26359349). Involved in stress-induced cancer cell proliferation in a IER5-dependent manner (PubMed:26754925). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10359787, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11447121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11583998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12659875, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12917326, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14707147, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15016915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16278218, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897941, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1871105, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18794143, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1986252, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25963659, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26359349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26727489, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26754925, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7623826, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7760831, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7935471, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8455624, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8940068, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8946918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9121459, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9341107, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9499401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9535852, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9727490}.;
