Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the USP21 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_001014443.3. 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: Deubiquitinates histone H2A, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression, thereby acting as a coactivator. Deubiquitination of histone H2A releaves the repression of di- and trimethylation of histone H3 at 'Lys-4', resulting in regulation of transcriptional initiation. Regulates gene expression via histone H2A deubiquitination (By similarity). Also capable of removing NEDD8 from NEDD8 conjugates but has no effect on Sentrin-1 conjugates (PubMed:10799498). Deubiquitinates BAZ2A/TIP5 leading to its stabilization (PubMed:26100909). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9QZL6, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10799498, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26100909}.;
