Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the MEIS2 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: Involved in transcriptional regulation. Binds to HOX or PBX proteins to form dimers, or to a DNA-bound dimer of PBX and HOX proteins and thought to have a role in stabilization of the homeoprotein-DNA complex. Isoform 3 is required for the activity of a PDX1:PBX1b:MEIS2b complex in pancreatic acinar cells involved in the transcriptional activation of the ELA1 enhancer; the complex binds to the enhancer B element and cooperates with the transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) bound to the enhancer A element; MEIS2 is not involved in complex DNA-binding. Probably in complex with PBX1, is involved in transcriptional regulation by KLF4. Isoform 3 and isoform 4 can bind to a EPHA8 promoter sequence containing the DNA motif 5'-CGGTCA-3'; in cooperation with a PBX protein (such as PBX2) is proposed to be involved in the transcriptional activation of EPHA8 in the developing midbrain. May be involved in regulation of myeloid differentiation. Can bind to the DNA sequence 5'-TGACAG-3'in the activator ACT sequence of the D(1A) dopamine receptor (DRD1) promoter and activate DRD1 transcription; isoform 5 cannot activate DRD1 transcription. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10764806, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11279116, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21746878}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Cleft palate, cardiac defects, and mental retardation (CPCMR) [MIM:600987]: An autosomal dominant disease characterized by multiple congenital malformations, mild-to-severe intellectual disability with poor speech, and delayed psychomotor development. Congenital malformations include heart defects, cleft lip/palate, distally-placed thumbs and toes, and cutaneous syndactyly between the second and third toes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24678003, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25712757, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27225850}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
