Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the SLC6A1 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: Terminates the action of GABA by its high affinity sodium-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals.
• Disease: DISEASE: Myoclonic-atonic epilepsy (MAE) [MIM:616421]: A form of epilepsy characterized by myoclonic-atonic and absence seizures, appearing in early childhood. Patients have delayed development before the onset of seizures and show varying degrees of intellectual disability following seizure onset. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25865495}.
