Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the IFNAR2 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: Associates with IFNAR1 to form the type I interferon receptor. Receptor for interferons alpha and beta. Involved in IFN-mediated STAT1, STAT2 and STAT3 activation (PubMed:26424569). Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are directly involved in signal transduction due to their association with the TYR kinase, JAK1 (PubMed:8181059, PubMed:7665574, PubMed:7759950). Isoform 3 is a potent inhibitor of type I IFN receptor activity (PubMed:7759950). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10049744, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11682488, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12105218, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26424569, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7665574, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7759950, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8181059}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Immunodeficiency 45 (IMD45) [MIM:616669]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased susceptibility to viral infection due to impaired antiviral immunity, resulting in infection-associated encephalopathy. Affected individuals are at risk for developing fatal encephalitis after routine measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccination. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26424569}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
