ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_001330112.2. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Component of the shieldin complex, which plays an important role in repair of DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) (PubMed:29656893, PubMed:29789392). During G1 and S phase of the cell cycle, the complex functions downstream of TP53BP1 to promote non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and suppress DNA end resection (PubMed:29656893, PubMed:29789392). Mediates various NHEJ- dependent processes including immunoglobulin class-switch recombination, and fusion of unprotected telomeres (PubMed:29656893). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29656893, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29789392}.;
