Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the MYH8 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000002472.3. 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: Muscle contraction.;
Disease: DISEASE: Carney complex variant (CACOV) [MIM:608837]: Carney complex is a multiple neoplasia syndrome characterized by spotty skin pigmentation, cardiac and other myxomas, endocrine tumors, and psammomatous melanotic schwannomas. Familial cardiac myxomas are associated with spotty pigmentation of the skin and other phenotypes, including primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical dysplasia, extracardiac (frequently cutaneous) myxomas, schwannomas, and pituitary, thyroid, testicular, bone, ovarian, and breast tumors. Cardiac myxomas do not develop in all patients with the Carney complex, but affected patients have at least two features of the complex or one feature and a clinically significant family history. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15282353}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Arthrogryposis, distal, 7 (DA7) [MIM:158300]: A form of distal arthrogryposis, a disease characterized by congenital joint contractures that mainly involve two or more distal parts of the limbs, in the absence of a primary neurological or muscle disease. DA7 is characterized by an inability to open the mouth fully (trismus) and pseudocamptodactyly in which wrist dorsiflexion, but not volarflexion, produces involuntary flexion contracture of distal and proximal interphalangeal joints. Additional features include shortened hamstring muscles and short stature. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15282353, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20949528}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
