Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the UNC93B1 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: Plays an important role in innate and adaptive immunity by regulating nucleotide-sensing Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. Required for the transport of a subset of TLRs (including TLR3, TLR7 and TLR9) from the endoplasmic reticulum to endolysosomes where they can engage pathogen nucleotides and activate signaling cascades. May play a role in autoreactive B- cells removal. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19006693}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Encephalopathy, acute, infection-induced, Herpes- specific, 1 (IIAE1) [MIM:610551]: A rare complication of human herpesvirus 1 (HHV-1) infection, occurring in only a small minority of HHV-1 infected individuals. It is characterized by hemorrhagic necrosis of parts of the temporal and frontal lobes. Onset is over several days and involves fever, headache, seizures, stupor, and often coma, frequently with a fatal outcome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16973841}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Mutations in UNC93B1 resulting in autosomal recessive UNC93B1 deficieny predispose otherwise healthy individuals to isolated herpes simplex encephalitis due to impaired IFNs production. UNC93B1 deficieny, however, does not compromise immunity to most pathogens, unlike most known primary immunodeficiencies.
