Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the NSD2 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_001042424.3. 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: Histone methyltransferase with histone H3 'Lys-27' (H3K27me) methyltransferase activity. Isoform 2 may act as a transcription regulator that binds DNA and suppresses IL5 transcription through HDAC recruitment. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11152655, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16115125, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18172012}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Note=NSD2 is located in the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) critical region. WHS results from by sub-telomeric deletions in the short arm of chromosome 4. NSD2 is deleted in every case, however deletion of linked genes contributes to both the severity of the core characteristics and the presence of the additional syndromic problems.
