Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the KCNC3 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: Voltage-gated potassium channel that plays an important role in the rapid repolarization of fast-firing brain neurons. The channel opens in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, forming a potassium-selective channel through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. The channel displays rapid activation and inactivation kinetics (PubMed:10712820, PubMed:26997484, PubMed:22289912, PubMed:23734863, PubMed:16501573, PubMed:19953606, PubMed:21479265, PubMed:25756792). It plays a role in the regulation of the frequency, shape and duration of action potentials in Purkinje cells. Required for normal survival of cerebellar neurons, probably via its role in regulating the duration and frequency of action potentials that in turn regulate the activity of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis (By similarity). Required for normal motor function (PubMed:23734863, PubMed:16501573, PubMed:19953606, PubMed:21479265, PubMed:25756792). Plays a role in the reorganization of the cortical actin cytoskeleton and the formation of actin veil structures in neuronal growth cones via its interaction with HAX1 and the Arp2/3 complex (PubMed:26997484). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q63959, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10712820, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16501573, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19953606, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21479265, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22289912, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23734863, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25756792, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26997484}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Spinocerebellar ataxia 13 (SCA13) [MIM:605259]: Spinocerebellar ataxia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA13 is an autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia (ADCA) characterized by slow progression and variable age at onset, ranging from childhood to late adulthood. Mental retardation can be present in some patients. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16501573, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19953606, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21479265, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22289912, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23734863, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25152487, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25756792}.
