Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the STAT4 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000003151.4. 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: Carries out a dual function: signal transduction and activation of transcription. Involved in IL12 signaling.;
Disease: DISEASE: Systemic lupus erythematosus 11 (SLEB11) [MIM:612253]: A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17804842, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19109131}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [MIM:180300]: An inflammatory disease with autoimmune features and a complex genetic component. It primarily affects the joints and is characterized by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17804842}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
