Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the LTBP4 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_001042545.2. 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: Key regulator of transforming growth factor beta (TGFB1, TGFB2 and TGFB3) that controls TGF-beta activation by maintaining it in a latent state during storage in extracellular space. Associates specifically via disulfide bonds with the Latency- associated peptide (LAP), which is the regulatory chain of TGF- beta, and regulates integrin-dependent activation of TGF-beta. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14766}.;
Disease: DISEASE: Urban-Rifkin-Davis syndrome (URDS) [MIM:613177]: A syndrome characterized by disrupted pulmonary, gastrointestinal, urinary, musculoskeletal, craniofacial and dermal development. Clinical features include cutis laxa, mild cardiovascular lesions, respiratory distress with cystic and atelectatic changes in the lungs, and diverticulosis, tortuosity and stenosis at various levels of the intestinal tract. Craniofacial features include microretrognathia, flat midface, receding forehead and wide fontanelles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19836010}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) [MIM:310200]: Most common form of muscular dystrophy; a sex-linked recessive disorder. It typically presents in boys aged 3 to 7 year as proximal muscle weakness causing waddling gait, toe-walking, lordosis, frequent falls, and difficulty in standing up and climbing up stairs. The pelvic girdle is affected first, then the shoulder girdle. Progression is steady and most patients are confined to a wheelchair by age of 10 or 12. Flexion contractures and scoliosis ultimately occur. About 50% of patients have a lower IQ than their genetic expectations would suggest. There is no treatment. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23440719, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25641372}. Note=The gene represented in this entry may act as a disease modifier. DMD patients homozygous for the IAAM haplotype consisting of Ile-194, Ala-787, Ala-820 and Met-1141 remain ambulatory significantly longer than those heterozygous or homozygous for the VTTT haplotype consisting of Val-194, Thr-787, Thr-820 and Thr-1141. This may be due to increased binding to TGFB1, resulting in TGFB1 sequestration in the extracellular matrix and reduced TGFB1 signaling which has been linked to improved muscle function and regeneration. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23440719}.;
