Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the NPHP3 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: Required for normal ciliary development and function. Inhibits disheveled-1-induced canonical Wnt-signaling activity and may also play a role in the control of non-canonical Wnt signaling which regulates planar cell polarity. Probably acts as a molecular switch between different Wnt signaling pathways. Required for proper convergent extension cell movements. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18371931}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia 1 (RHPD1) [MIM:208540]: A disease characterized by cystic malformations of the kidneys, liver, and pancreas. The pathological findings consist of multicystic dysplastic kidneys, dilated and dysgenetic bile ducts, a dysplastic pancreas with dilated ducts, cysts, fibrosis and inflammatory infiltrates. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18371931}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Meckel syndrome 7 (MKS7) [MIM:267010]: A disorder characterized by a combination of renal cysts and variably associated features including developmental anomalies of the central nervous system (typically encephalocele), hepatic ductal dysplasia and cysts, and polydactyly. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18371931}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
