Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the VCP 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: Necessary for the fragmentation of Golgi stacks during mitosis and for their reassembly after mitosis. Involved in the formation of the transitional endoplasmic reticulum (tER). The transfer of membranes from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus occurs via 50-70 nm transition vesicles which derive from part-rough, part-smooth transitional elements of the endoplasmic reticulum (tER). Vesicle budding from the tER is an ATP-dependent process. The ternary complex containing UFD1, VCP and NPLOC4 binds ubiquitinated proteins and is necessary for the export of misfolded proteins from the ER to the cytoplasm, where they are degraded by the proteasome. The NPLOC4-UFD1-VCP complex regulates spindle disassembly at the end of mitosis and is necessary for the formation of a closed nuclear envelope. Regulates E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity of RNF19A. Component of the VCP/p97-AMFR/gp78 complex that participates in the final step of the sterol-mediated ubiquitination and endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of HMGCR. Involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced pre-emptive quality control, a mechanism that selectively attenuates the translocation of newly synthesized proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum and reroutes them to the cytosol for proteasomal degradation (PubMed:26565908). Plays a role in the regulation of stress granules (SGs) clearance process upon arsenite-induced response (PubMed:29804830). Also involved in DNA damage response: recruited to double-strand breaks (DSBs) sites in a RNF8- and RNF168-dependent manner and promotes the recruitment of TP53BP1 at DNA damage sites (PubMed:22020440, PubMed:22120668). Recruited to stalled replication forks by SPRTN: may act by mediating extraction of DNA polymerase eta (POLH) to prevent excessive translesion DNA synthesis and limit the incidence of mutations induced by DNA damage (PubMed:23042607, PubMed:23042605). Required for cytoplasmic retrotranslocation of stressed/damaged mitochondrial outer-membrane proteins and their subsequent proteasomal degradation (PubMed:16186510, PubMed:21118995). Essential for the maturation of ubiquitin-containing autophagosomes and the clearance of ubiquitinated protein by autophagy (PubMed:20104022, PubMed:27753622). Acts as a negative regulator of type I interferon production by interacting with DDX58/RIG-I: interaction takes place when DDX58/RIG-I is ubiquitinated via 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin on its CARD domains, leading to recruit RNF125 and promote ubiquitination and degradation of DDX58/RIG-I (PubMed:26471729). May play a role in the ubiquitin-dependent sorting of membrane proteins to lysosomes where they undergo degradation (PubMed:21822278). May more particularly play a role in caveolins sorting in cells (PubMed:21822278, PubMed:23335559). By controlling the steady- state expression of the IGF1R receptor, indirectly regulates the insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway (PubMed:26692333). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15456787, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16168377, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16186510, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20104022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21118995, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21822278, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22020440, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22120668, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22607976, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23042605, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23042607, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23335559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26471729, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26565908, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26692333, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27753622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29804830}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease with or without frontotemporal dementia 1 (IBMPFD1) [MIM:167320]: An autosomal dominant disease characterized by disabling muscle weakness clinically resembling to limb girdle muscular dystrophy, osteolytic bone lesions consistent with Paget disease, and premature frontotemporal dementia. Clinical features show incomplete penetrance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15034582, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15732117, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16247064, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16321991, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17935506, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20104022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20335036, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20512113, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21822278, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23349634, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25125609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25878907, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27209344, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27753622, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29804830}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 14, with or without frontotemporal dementia (ALS14) [MIM:613954]: A neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper motor neurons in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord, resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. The pathologic hallmarks of the disease include pallor of the corticospinal tract due to loss of motor neurons, presence of ubiquitin-positive inclusions within surviving motor neurons, and deposition of pathologic aggregates. The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The disease is inherited in 5-10% of the cases. Patients with ALS14 may develop frontotemporal dementia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21145000, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23349634}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2Y (CMT2Y) [MIM:616687]: An autosomal dominant, axonal form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy, initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. Charcot- Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathies (designated CMT1 when they are dominantly inherited) and primary peripheral axonal neuropathies (CMT2). Neuropathies of the CMT2 group are characterized by signs of axonal degeneration in the absence of obvious myelin alterations, normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocities, and progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25125609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25878907}.
