Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the KIF21A 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: Microtubule-binding motor protein probably involved in neuronal axonal transport. In vitro, has a plus-end directed motor activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Fibrosis of extraocular muscles, congenital, 1 (CFEOM1) [MIM:135700]: A congenital ocular motility disorder marked by restrictive ophthalmoplegia affecting extraocular muscles innervated by the oculomotor and/or trochlear nerves. It is clinically characterized by anchoring of the eyes in downward gaze, ptosis, and backward tilt of the head. Patients affected by congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles type 1 show an absence of the superior division of the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) and corresponding oculomotor subnuclei. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14595441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16157808, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17511870, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24715754}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
