Gene expression demonstrated in relevant tissues including pancreas and developing brain. Function/expression (supportive biological relevance) = 0.5 PMID: 40924476 – Functional alteration (non-patient β-cell line knockdown). Gene depletion increased susceptibility to ER-stress–induced apoptosis. Functional alteration (engineered cell model) = 0.5 PMID: 40924476 – Functional alteration (variant-specific iPSC-derived β cells). Variant impaired ER-to-Golgi trafficking and β-cell function in disease-relevant cells. Functional alteration (variant-specific, mechanistic support) = 1.0 PMID: 40924476 – Functional alteration (human β-cell transplantation assay). Mutant cells demonstrated reduced C-peptide secretion after transplantation into mice. Functional alteration (in vivo physiological assay; not full animal disease model) = 0.5 Experimental evidence total = 2.5 / 6 Overall score Genetic evidence = 4.6 Experimental evidence = 2.5 Overall score = 7.1 / 18

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_174909.5. 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.
