Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the TBX6 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000004608.4. 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: T-box transcription factor that plays an essential role in the determination of the fate of axial stem cells: neural vs mesodermal. Acts in part by down-regulating, a specific enhancer (N1) of SOX2, to inhibit neural development. Seems to play also an essential role in left/right axis determination and acts through effects on Notch signaling around the node as well as through an effect on the morphology and motility of the nodal cilia (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Spondylocostal dysostosis 5 (SCDO5) [MIM:122600]: A rare condition of variable severity characterized by vertebral and costal anomalies. The main feature include dwarfism, vertebral fusion, hemivertebrae, posterior rib fusion, reduced rib number, and other rib malformations. SCDO5 inheritance can be autosomal dominant or recessive. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23335591, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25564734}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
