Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the KCNN4 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000002250.3. 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: Forms a voltage-independent potassium channel that is activated by intracellular calcium (PubMed:26148990). Activation is followed by membrane hyperpolarization which promotes calcium influx. Required for maximal calcium influx and proliferation during the reactivation of naive T-cells. The channel is blocked by clotrimazole and charybdotoxin but is insensitive to apamin (PubMed:17157250, PubMed:18796614). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17157250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18796614, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26148990}.;
Disease: DISEASE: Dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis 2 (DHS2) [MIM:616689]: An autosomal dominant hemolytic anemia characterized by primary erythrocyte dehydration. Erythrocytes exhibit decreased total cation and potassium content that are not accompanied by a proportional net gain of sodium and water. Affected individuals typically manifest mild to moderate compensated hemolytic anemia, with an increased erythrocyte mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and a decreased osmotic fragility, both of which reflect cellular dehydration. Their red cells exhibit a panel of various shape abnormalities such as elliptocytes, hemighosts, schizocytes, and very rare stomatocytic cells. Complications such as splenomegaly and cholelithiasis, resulting from increased red cell trapping in the spleen and elevated bilirubin levels, respectively, may occur. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26148990, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26178367, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26198474}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
