Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the PKD2 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: Functions as a cation channel involved in fluid-flow mechanosensation by the primary cilium in renal epithelium (PubMed:18695040). Functions as outward-rectifying K(+) channel, but is also permeable to Ca(2+), and to a much lesser degree also to Na(+) (PubMed:11854751, PubMed:15692563, PubMed:27071085, PubMed:27991905). May contribute to the release of Ca(2+) stores from the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:11854751, PubMed:20881056). Together with TRPV4, forms mechano- and thermosensitive channels in cilium (PubMed:18695040). PKD1 and PKD2 may function through a common signaling pathway that is necessary to maintain the normal, differentiated state of renal tubule cells. Acts as a regulator of cilium length, together with PKD1. The dynamic control of cilium length is essential in the regulation of mechanotransductive signaling. The cilium length response creates a negative feedback loop whereby fluid shear-mediated deflection of the primary cilium, which decreases intracellular cAMP, leads to cilium shortening and thus decreases flow-induced signaling. Also involved in left-right axis specification via its role in sensing nodal flow; forms a complex with PKD1L1 in cilia to facilitate flow detection in left-right patterning. Detection of asymmetric nodal flow gives rise to a Ca(2+) signal that is required for normal, asymmetric expression of genes involved in the specification of body left-right laterality (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35245, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11854751, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15692563, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16551655, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18695040, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20881056, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27991905, ECO:0000305}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Polycystic kidney disease 2 with or without polycystic liver disease (PKD2) [MIM:613095]: An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by progressive formation and enlargement of cysts in both kidneys, typically leading to end-stage renal disease in adult life. Cysts also occurs in the liver and other organs. It represents approximately 15% of the cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. PKD2 is clinically milder than PKD1 but it has a deleterious impact on overall life expectancy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10411676, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10541293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10835625, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11854751, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11968093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12707387, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14993477, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15772804, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21115670, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27071085, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9326320}.
