Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the NODAL gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000018055.5. 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: Essential for mesoderm formation and axial patterning during embryonic development. {ECO:0000250}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Heterotaxy, visceral, 5, autosomal (HTX5) [MIM:270100]: A form of visceral heterotaxy, a complex disorder due to disruption of the normal left-right asymmetry of the thoracoabdominal organs. Visceral heterotaxy or situs ambiguus results in randomization of the placement of visceral organs, including the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and stomach. The organs are oriented randomly with respect to the left-right axis and with respect to one another. It can been associated with variety of congenital defects including cardiac malformations. HTX5 clinical features include situs inversus viscerum or situs ambiguus, congenital heart defect, transposition of the great vessels ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, truncus communis, and dextrocardia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19064609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9354794}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
