Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the TINF2 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: Component of the shelterin complex (telosome) that is involved in the regulation of telomere length and protection. Shelterin associates with arrays of double-stranded TTAGGG repeats added by telomerase and protects chromosome ends; without its protective activity, telomeres are no longer hidden from the DNA damage surveillance and chromosome ends are inappropriately processed by DNA repair pathways. Plays a role in shelterin complex assembly. Isoform 1 may have additional role in tethering telomeres to the nuclear matrix. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16166375, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16880378}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant, 3 (DKCA3) [MIM:613990]: A rare multisystem disorder caused by defective telomere maintenance. It is characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, and the clinical triad of reticulated skin hyperpigmentation, nail dystrophy, and mucosal leukoplakia. Common but variable features include premature graying, aplastic anemia, low platelets, osteoporosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and liver fibrosis among others. Early mortality is often associated with bone marrow failure, infections, fatal pulmonary complications, or malignancy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18252230}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant, 5 (DKCA5) [MIM:268130]: A disease characterized by bone marrow hypoplasia, nail dystrophy, fine sparse hair, fine reticulate skin pigmentation, oral leukoplakia, bilateral exudative retinopathy, cerebellar hypoplasia, and growth retardation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18252230}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
