ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_017709.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Nucleotidyltransferase that act as a non-canonical poly(A) RNA polymerase which enhances mRNA stability and gene expression. Mainly targets mRNAs encoding endoplasmic reticulum- targeted protein and may be involved in induction of cell death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27060136, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28931820}.;
