Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the LRP6 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: Component of the Wnt-Fzd-LRP5-LRP6 complex that triggers beta-catenin signaling through inducing aggregation of receptor- ligand complexes into ribosome-sized signalsomes. Cell-surface coreceptor of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, which plays a pivotal role in bone formation. The Wnt-induced Fzd/LRP6 coreceptor complex recruits DVL1 polymers to the plasma membrane which, in turn, recruits the AXIN1/GSK3B-complex to the cell surface promoting the formation of signalsomes and inhibiting AXIN1/GSK3- mediated phosphorylation and destruction of beta-catenin. Required for posterior patterning of the epiblast during gastrulation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11357136, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11448771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15778503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16341017, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16513652, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17326769, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17400545, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19107203, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19293931, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19801552}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Coronary artery disease, autosomal dominant, 2 (ADCAD2) [MIM:610947]: A common heart disease characterized by reduced or absent blood flow in one or more of the arteries that encircle and supply the heart. Its most important complication is acute myocardial infarction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17332414, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23703864}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Tooth agenesis, selective, 7 (STHAG7) [MIM:616724]: An autosomal dominant form of selective tooth agenesis, a common anomaly characterized by the congenital absence of one or more teeth. Selective tooth agenesis without associated systemic disorders has sometimes been divided into 2 types: oligodontia, defined as agenesis of 6 or more permanent teeth, and hypodontia, defined as agenesis of less than 6 teeth. The number in both cases does not include absence of third molars (wisdom teeth). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26387593}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
