ODF4

protein-coding

outer dense fiber of sperm tails 4

Gene summary

This gene encodes a protein that is localized in the outer dense fibers of the tails of mature sperm. This protein is thought to have some important role in the sperm tail. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Alhathal et al., 2020 (PMID: 32719396) reported a nonsense variant (LOF) in a large male infertility cohort (n=285 infertile man and case–control fertile man). Gene is scored according to ClinGen classification. Moderate with total score of 8. Single-variant analysis (3 points), experimental evidence: Animal model (4 points) (http://www.informatics.jax.org/marker/phenotypes/MGI:2182079) and testicular expression (1 points) (PMID: 23096689;PMID: 12728016).

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_153007.5. 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.
