Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the MRTFA 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: Transcription coactivator that associates with the serum response factor (SRF) transcription factor to control expression of genes regulating the cytoskeleton during development, morphogenesis and cell migration. The SRF-MRTFA complex activity responds to Rho GTPase-induced changes in cellular globular actin (G-actin) concentration, thereby coupling cytoskeletal gene expression to cytoskeletal dynamics. MRTFA binds G-actin via its RPEL repeats, regulating activity of the MRTFA-SRF complex. Activity is also regulated by filamentous actin (F-actin) in the nucleus. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K4J6}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving MRTFA may be a cause of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia. Translocation t(1;22)(p13;q13) with RBM15 (PubMed:11431691, PubMed:11344311). Although both reciprocal fusion transcripts are detected in acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL, FAB-M7), the RBM15-MRTFA chimeric protein has all the putative functional domains encoded by each gene and is the candidate oncogene (PubMed:11431691, PubMed:11344311). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11344311, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11431691}.
