Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the TNIK gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000015028.4. 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: Serine/threonine kinase that acts as an essential activator of the Wnt signaling pathway. Recruited to promoters of Wnt target genes and required to activate their expression. May act by phosphorylating TCF4/TCF7L2. Appears to act upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway. May play a role in the response to environmental stress. Part of a signaling complex composed of NEDD4, RAP2A and TNIK which regulates neuronal dendrite extension and arborization during development. More generally, it may play a role in cytoskeletal rearrangements and regulate cell spreading. Phosphorylates SMAD1 on Thr-322. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10521462, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15342639, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19061864, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19816403, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20159449, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21690388}.;
Disease: DISEASE: Mental retardation, autosomal recessive 54 (MRT54) [MIM:617028]: A form of mental retardation, a disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRT54 patients manifest intellectual disability, delayed speech and hyperactivity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27106596}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
