This is a list of variants' phenotypes submitted to ClinVar and linked to the UBA1 gene.

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the UBA1 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: Catalyzes the first step in ubiquitin conjugation to mark cellular proteins for degradation through the ubiquitin- proteasome system (PubMed:1606621, PubMed:1447181). Activates ubiquitin by first adenylating its C-terminal glycine residue with ATP, and thereafter linking this residue to the side chain of a cysteine residue in E1, yielding a ubiquitin-E1 thioester and free AMP (PubMed:1447181). Essential for the formation of radiation- induced foci, timely DNA repair and for response to replication stress. Promotes the recruitment of TP53BP1 and BRCA1 at DNA damage sites (PubMed:22456334). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1447181, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1606621, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22456334}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Spinal muscular atrophy X-linked 2 (SMAX2) [MIM:301830]: A lethal infantile form of spinal muscular atrophy, a neuromuscular disorder characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, leading to symmetrical muscle weakness and atrophy. Clinical features include hypotonia, areflexia, and multiple congenital contractures. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18179898, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23518311}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
