Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the KDM6A 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: Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys- 27' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code (PubMed:17851529, PubMed:17713478, PubMed:17761849). Demethylates trimethylated and dimethylated but not monomethylated H3 'Lys-27' (PubMed:17851529, PubMed:17713478, PubMed:17761849). Plays a central role in regulation of posterior development, by regulating HOX gene expression (PubMed:17851529). Demethylation of 'Lys-27' of histone H3 is concomitant with methylation of 'Lys-4' of histone H3, and regulates the recruitment of the PRC1 complex and monoubiquitination of histone H2A (PubMed:17761849). Plays a demethylase-independent role in chromatin remodeling to regulate T-box family member-dependent gene expression (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O70546, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17713478, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17761849, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17851529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18003914}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Kabuki syndrome 2 (KABUK2) [MIM:300867]: A congenital mental retardation syndrome with additional features, including postnatal dwarfism, a peculiar facies characterized by long palpebral fissures with eversion of the lateral third of the lower eyelids, a broad and depressed nasal tip, large prominent earlobes, a cleft or high-arched palate, scoliosis, short fifth finger, persistence of fingerpads, radiographic abnormalities of the vertebrae, hands, and hip joints, and recurrent otitis media in infancy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22197486}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
