ClinVar

This is a list of variants' phenotypes submitted to ClinVar and linked to the LOX gene.

  • Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 10 (3 variants)
  • Cardiovascular phenotype (3 variants)
  • LOX-related disorder (1 variants)

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the LOX 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: Responsible for the post-translational oxidative deamination of peptidyl lysine residues in precursors to fibrous collagen and elastin (PubMed:26838787). Regulator of Ras expression. May play a role in tumor suppression. Plays a role in the aortic wall architecture (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P28301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26838787}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 10 (AAT10) [MIM:617168]: A form of thoracic aortic aneurysm, a disease characterized by permanent dilation of the thoracic aorta usually due to degenerative changes in the aortic wall. It is primarily associated with a characteristic histologic appearance known as 'medial necrosis' or 'Erdheim cystic medial necrosis' in which there is degeneration and fragmentation of elastic fibers, loss of smooth muscle cells, and an accumulation of basophilic ground substance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26838787, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27432961}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
