ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript . Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Methyltransferase that can methylate both proteins and DNA, and to a lower extent, arsenic (PubMed:18539146, PubMed:21193388, PubMed:30017583). Catalytic subunit of a heterodimer with TRMT112, which catalyzes N5-methylation of Glu residue of proteins with a Gly-Gln-Xaa-Xaa-Xaa-Arg motif (PubMed:18539146) (By similarity). Methylates ETF1 on 'Gln-185'; ETF1 needs to be complexed to ERF3 in its GTP-bound form to be efficiently methylated (PubMed:18539146, PubMed:20606008). Also acts as a N(6)-adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase by mediating methylation of DNA on the 6th position of adenine (N(6)- methyladenosine) (PubMed:30017583). N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) DNA is significantly enriched in exonic regions and is associated with gene transcriptional activation (PubMed:30017583). May also play a role in the modulation of arsenic-induced toxicity by mediating the conversion of monomethylarsonous acid (3+) into the less toxic dimethylarsonic acid (PubMed:21193388, PubMed:25997655). It however only plays a limited role in arsenic metabolism compared with AS3MT (PubMed:25997655). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6SKR2, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18539146, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20606008, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21193388, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25997655, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30017583}.;
