Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the PIGG 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: Ethanolamine phosphate transferase involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis. Transfers ethanolamine phosphate to the GPI second mannose. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15632136}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Mental retardation, autosomal recessive 53 (MRT53) [MIM:616917]: A form of mental retardation, a disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. Most MRT53 patients manifest severely delayed psychomotor development, hypotonia, and early-onset seizures. Additional features, such as cerebellar hypoplasia and ataxia have been observed in some patients. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Cells from patients carrying PIGG disease-causing mutations show abnormal accumulation of the GPI precursors H7 and H7' and absence of mature GPI precursor H8, consistent with a loss of function. However, GPI-anchored proteins, including CD59, CD55, CD24 and CD16, are normally expressed at the cell surface of lymphocytes and granulocytes and CD59 exhibits sensitivity to bacterial phosphatidylinositol- specific phospholipase C, suggesting a normal structure. The role of PIGG in MRT53 etiology is not clear. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26996948}.
