Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the SYNE4 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: As a component of the LINC (LInker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton) complex, involved in the connection between the nuclear lamina and the cytoskeleton. The nucleocytoplasmic interactions established by the LINC complex play an important role in the transmission of mechanical forces across the nuclear envelope and in nuclear movement and positioning (By similarity). Behaves as a kinesin cargo, providing a functional binding site for kinesin-1 at the nuclear envelope. Hence may contribute to the establishment of secretory epithelial morphology by promoting kinesin-dependent apical migration of the centrosome and Golgi apparatus and basal localization of the nucleus (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Deafness, autosomal recessive, 76 (DFNB76) [MIM:615540]: A form of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness, a disorder resulting from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. DFNB76 affected individuals have onset of progressive high frequency hearing impairment between birth and 6 years of age. The hearing loss is severe at high frequencies by adulthood. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23348741}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
