ClinVar

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

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the UBTF gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: . 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: Recognizes the ribosomal RNA gene promoter and activates transcription mediated by RNA polymerase I through cooperative interactions with the transcription factor SL1/TIF-IB complex. It binds specifically to the upstream control element. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28777933, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7982918}.;
Disease: DISEASE: Neurodegeneration, childhood-onset, with brain atrophy (CONDBA) [MIM:617672]: An autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease with onset in childhood, characterized by progressive cortical atrophy, developmental delay, developmental regression, loss of motor skills and ambulation, absence of language, and intellectual disability. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28777933}.
