Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the KIF5A gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000004984.4. 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: Microtubule-dependent motor required for slow axonal transport of neurofilament proteins (NFH, NFM and NFL). Can induce formation of neurite-like membrane protrusions in non-neuronal cells in a ZFYVE27-dependent manner. The ZFYVE27-KIF5A complex contributes to the vesicular transport of VAPA, VAPB, SURF4, RAB11A, RAB11B and RTN3 proteins in neurons. Required for anterograde axonal transportation of MAPK8IP3/JIP3 which is essential for MAPK8IP3/JIP3 function in axon elongation. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P33175, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6QLM7}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Spastic paraplegia 10, autosomal dominant (SPG10) [MIM:604187]: A form of spastic paraplegia, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms are quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12355402, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15452312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16476820, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16489470, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18203753, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18245137, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18853458, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21107874}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Myoclonus, intractable, neonatal (NEIMY) [MIM:617235]: An autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by severe, infantile-onset myoclonic seizures, hypotonia, optic nerve abnormalities, dysphagia, apnea, and early developmental arrest. Brain imaging shows a progressive leukoencephalopathy. Some patients may die in infancy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24215330, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27414745, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27463701}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 25 (ALS25) [MIM:617921]: A form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper motor neurons in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord, resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. The pathologic hallmarks of the disease include pallor of the corticospinal tract due to loss of motor neurons, presence of ubiquitin-positive inclusions within surviving motor neurons, and deposition of pathologic aggregates. The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The disease is inherited in 5-10% of the cases. ALS25 is an autosomal dominant form with variable adult onset and incomplete penetrance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29342275, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29566793}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. The mutation NM_004984.2:c.33019A>G encoding the predicted missence variant p.Arg1007Gly, may also affect splicing and induce the skipping of exon 27, resulting in a frameshift and a premature stop codon producing a truncated protein p.Asn999Valfs*39. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29342275}.;
