Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the SPATA7 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000018418.5. 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: Involved in photoreceptor cells maintenance (By similarity). It is required for recruitment and proper localization of RPGRIP1 to the photoreceptor connecting cilium (CC), as well as protein trafficking across the CC to the outer segments (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80VP2}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Leber congenital amaurosis 3 (LCA3) [MIM:604232]: A severe dystrophy of the retina, typically becoming evident in the first years of life. Visual function is usually poor and often accompanied by nystagmus, sluggish or near-absent pupillary responses, photophobia, high hyperopia and keratoconus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19268277}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Retinitis pigmentosa autosomal recessive (ARRP) [MIM:268000]: A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19268277}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
