Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the PEX7 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: Binds to the N-terminal PTS2-type peroxisomal targeting signal and plays an essential role in peroxisomal protein import.
• Disease: DISEASE: Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata 1 (RCDP1) [MIM:215100]: A peroxisome biogenesis disorder. It is characterized by severely disturbed endochondral bone formation, rhizomelic shortening of femur and humerus, vertebral disorders, dwarfism, cataract, cutaneous lesions, facial dysmorphism, and severe mental retardation with spasticity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9090381}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Peroxisome biogenesis disorder 9B (PBD9B) [MIM:614879]: A peroxisome biogenesis disorder with unusually mild clinical and biochemical manifestations. Affected individuals manifest a variable phenotype similar to, and in some cases indistinguishable from, classic Refsum disease. Variable features include ocular abnormalities, sensorimotor neuropathy, ichthyosis, deafness, chondrodysplasia punctata without rhizomelia or growth failure. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12522768}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
