Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the IL21R gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000181078.3. 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: This is a receptor for interleukin-21.
• Disease: DISEASE: Immunodeficiency 56 (IMD56) [MIM:615207]: An autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by B- and T-cell defects and variable dysfunction of NK cells. Patients tend to have normal numbers of lymphocytes, but show defective class- switched B-cells, low IgG, defective antibody response, and defective T-cell responses to certain antigens. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23440042}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Note=Chromosomal aberrations involving IL21R is a cause of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-cell NHL). Translocation t(3;16)(q27;p11), with BCL6.
