Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the SRY 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: Transcriptional regulator that controls a genetic switch in male development. It is necessary and sufficient for initiating male sex determination by directing the development of supporting cell precursors (pre-Sertoli cells) as Sertoli rather than granulosa cells (By similarity). In male adult brain involved in the maintenance of motor functions of dopaminergic neurons (By similarity). Involved in different aspects of gene regulation including promoter activation or repression (By similarity). Promotes DNA bending. SRY HMG box recognizes DNA by partial intercalation in the minor groove. Also involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-[AT]AACAA[AT]-3'. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11563911, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11818535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15170344, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16762365}.
• Disease: DISEASE: 46,XY sex reversal 1 (SRXY1) [MIM:400044]: A condition characterized by male-to-female sex reversal in the presence of a normal 46,XY karyotype. Patients manifest rapid and early degeneration of their gonads, which are present in the adult as 'streak gonads', consisting mainly of fibrous tissue and variable amounts of ovarian stroma. As a result these patients do not develop secondary sexual characteristics at puberty. The external genitalia in these subjects are completely female, and Muellerian structures are normal. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10670762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10721678, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10843173, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10852465, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11563911, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107262, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12793612, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1339396, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1415266, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1483689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1570829, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17063144, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2247149, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28030592, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7717397, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7776083, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7985018, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8019555, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8105086, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8353496, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8447323, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9450909, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9521592, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9678356, ECO:0000269|Ref.41, ECO:0000269|Ref.47}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Note=A 45,X chromosomal aberration involving SRY is found in Turner syndrome, a disease characterized by gonadal dysgenesis with short stature, "streak gonads", variable abnormalities such as webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, cardiac defects, low posterior hair line. The phenotype is female.; DISEASE: 46,XX sex reversal 1 (SRXX1) [MIM:400045]: A condition in which male gonads develop in a genetic female (female to male sex reversal). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10602113, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9652903}.
