Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the NLGN4X gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000181332.3. 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: Putative neuronal cell surface protein involved in cell- cell-interactions.;
Disease
DISEASE: Asperger syndrome, X-linked, 2 (ASPGX2) [MIM:300497]: A syndrome with features similar to autism. Affected individuals exhibit qualitative impairment in social interaction, as manifest by impairment in the use of non-verbal behaviors such as eye-to- eye gaze, facial expression, body postures, and gestures, failure to develop appropriate peer relationships, and lack of social sharing or reciprocity. Patients also exhibit restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities, including abnormal preoccupation with certain activities and inflexible adherence to routines or rituals. Asperger syndrome is primarily distinguished from autism by the higher cognitive abilities and a more normal and timely development of language and communicative phrases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14963808}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
