Variants pathogenicity by type
Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the PITX2 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000000325.6. 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: Controls cell proliferation in a tissue-specific manner and is involved in morphogenesis. During embryonic development, exerts a role in the expansion of muscle progenitors. May play a role in the proper localization of asymmetric organs such as the heart and stomach. Isoform PTX2C is involved in left-right asymmetry the developing embryo (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.;
- Disease
- DISEASE: Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome 1 (RIEG1) [MIM:180500]: An autosomal dominant disorder of morphogenesis that results in abnormal development of the anterior segment of the eye, and results in blindness from glaucoma in approximately 50% of affected individuals. Additional features include aniridia, maxillary hypoplasia, hypodontia, anal stenosis, redundant periumbilical skin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10937553, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11487566, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12381896, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16936096, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8944018}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Anterior segment dysgenesis 4 (ASGD4) [MIM:137600]: A form of anterior segment dysgenesis, a group of defects affecting anterior structures of the eye including cornea, iris, lens, trabecular meshwork, and Schlemm canal. Anterior segment dysgeneses result from abnormal migration or differentiation of the neural crest derived mesenchymal cells that give rise to components of the anterior chamber during eye development. Different anterior segment anomalies may exist alone or in combination, including iris hypoplasia, enlarged or reduced corneal diameter, corneal vascularization and opacity, posterior embryotoxon, corectopia, polycoria, abnormal iridocorneal angle, ectopia lentis, and anterior synechiae between the iris and posterior corneal surface. Clinical conditions falling within the phenotypic spectrum of anterior segment dysgeneses include aniridia, Axenfeld anomaly, Reiger anomaly/syndrome, Peters anomaly, and iridogoniodysgenesis. ASGD4 is an autosomal dominant disease. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10051017, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20881294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9437321, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9618168}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Ring dermoid of cornea (RDC) [MIM:180550]: An ocular disorder characterized by bilateral annular limbal dermoids (growths with a skin-like structure) with corneal and conjunctival extension. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15591271, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22224469}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
