Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the TECTA 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: One of the major non-collagenous components of the tectorial membrane (By similarity). The tectorial membrane is an extracellular matrix of the inner ear that covers the neuroepithelium of the cochlea and contacts the stereocilia bundles of specialized sensory hair cells. Sound induces movement of these hair cells relative to the tectorial membrane, deflects the stereocilia and leads to fluctuations in hair-cell membrane potential, transducing sound into electrical signals. {ECO:0000250}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Deafness, autosomal dominant, 12 (DFNA12) [MIM:601543]: A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10196713, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10987647, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12162770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15319541, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16718611, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17661817, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20947814, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21520338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9590290}.
