Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the METTL16 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000024086.4. 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: RNA N6-methyltransferase that methylates adenosine residues of a subset of RNAs and plays a key role in S-adenosyl-L- methionine homeostasis by regulating expression of MAT2A transcripts (PubMed:28525753). Able to N6-methylate a subset of mRNAs and U6 small nuclear RNAs (U6 snRNAs) (PubMed:28525753). In contrast to the METTL3-METTL14 heterodimer, only able to methylate a limited number of RNAs: requires both a 5'UACAGAGAA-3' nonamer sequence and a specific RNA structure (PubMed:28525753). In presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, binds the 3'-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA and specifically N6-methylates the first hairpin of MAT2A mRNA, impairing MAT2A expression (PubMed:28525753). In S- adenosyl-L-methionine-limiting conditions, binds the 3'-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA but stalls due to the lack of a methyl donor, preventing N6-methylation and promoting expression of MAT2A (PubMed:28525753). In addition to mRNAs, also able to mediate N6- methylation of U6 small nuclear RNA (U6 snRNA): specifically N6- methylates adenine in position 43 of U6 snRNAs (PubMed:28525753, PubMed:29051200). Also able to bind various lncRNAs (PubMed:29051200). Specifically binds the 3'-end of the MALAT1 long non-coding RNA (PubMed:27872311). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27872311, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28525753, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29051200}.;
