Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the PLAA gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_001031689.3. 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: Plays a role in protein ubiquitination, sorting and degradation through its association with VCP (PubMed:27753622). Involved in ubiquitin-mediated membrane proteins trafficking to late endosomes in an ESCRT-dependent manner, and hence plays a role in synaptic vesicle recycling (By similarity). May play a role in macroautophagy, regulating for instance the clearance of damaged lysosomes (PubMed:27753622). Plays a role in cerebellar Purkinje cell development (By similarity). Positively regulates cytosolic and calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activities in a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)- or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-dependent manner, and hence prostaglandin E2 biosynthesis (PubMed:18291623, PubMed:28007986). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P27612, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18291623, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27753622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007986}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Neurodevelopmental disorder with progressive microcephaly, spasticity, and brain anomalies (NDMSBA) [MIM:617527]: An autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by progressive microcephaly, spastic quadriparesis, global developmental delay, profound mental retardation and severely impaired or absent motor function. More variable features include seizures and optic atrophy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28007986, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28413018}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
