Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the UGT1A1 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000000463.3. 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: UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX- alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4- methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone. Isoform 2 lacks transferase activity but acts as a negative regulator of isoform 1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18004206, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19545173, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19830808}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Gilbert syndrome (GILBS) [MIM:143500]: Occurs as a consequence of reduced bilirubin transferase activity and is often detected in young adults with vague non-specific complaints. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11013440, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12139570, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7715297, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9627603}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Transient familial neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (HBLRTFN) [MIM:237900]: A condition characterized by excessive concentration of bilirubin in the blood, which may lead to jaundice. Breast milk jaundice is a common problem in nursing infants. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11061796}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. The defect has been ascribed to various breast milk substances, but the component or combination of components that is responsible remains unclear. Defects of UGT1A1 are an underlying cause of the prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia associated with breast milk. One or more components in the milk may trigger the jaundice in infants who have such mutations. Mutations are identical to those detected in patients with Gilbert syndrome, a risk factor of neonatal non-physiologic hyperbilirubinemia and a genetic factor in fasting hyperbilirubinemia.; DISEASE: Crigler-Najjar syndrome 1 (CN1) [MIM:218800]: Patients have severe hyperbilirubinemia and usually die of kernicterus (bilirubin accumulation in the basal ganglia and brainstem nuclei) within the first year of life. CN1 inheritance is autosomal recessive. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11013440, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15712364, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1634050, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17229650, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19830808, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23992562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7906695, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7989045, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7989595, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8226884}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Crigler-Najjar syndrome 2 (CN2) [MIM:606785]: Patients have less severe hyperbilirubinemia and usually survive into adulthood without neurologic damage. Phenobarbital, which induces the partially deficient glucuronyl transferase, can diminish the jaundice. CN2 inheritance is autosomal dominant. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11013440, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11370628, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12402338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14550264, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15712364, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17229650, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18004206, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19830808, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23099197, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23992562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7989595, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8276413, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8280139, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8706880, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9621515, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9639672}.
