Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the VPS33A 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 a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments including the endocytic membrane transport and autophagic pathways. Believed to act as a core component of the putative HOPS and CORVET endosomal tethering complexes which are proposed to be involved in the Rab5-to-Rab7 endosome conversion probably implicating MON1A/B, and via binding SNAREs and SNARE complexes to mediate tethering and docking events during SNARE-mediated membrane fusion. The HOPS complex is proposed to be recruited to Rab7 on the late endosomal membrane and to regulate late endocytic, phagocytic and autophagic traffic towards lysosomes. The CORVET complex is proposed to function as a Rab5 effector to mediate early endosome fusion probably in specific endosome subpopulations (PubMed:23351085, PubMed:24554770, PubMed:25266290, PubMed:25783203). Required for fusion of endosomes and autophagosomes with lysosomes; the function is dependent on its association with VPS16 but not VIPAS39 (PubMed:25783203). The function in autophagosome-lysosome fusion implicates STX17 but not UVRAG (PubMed:24554770). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24554770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25783203, ECO:0000305|PubMed:23351085, ECO:0000305|PubMed:25266290, ECO:0000305|PubMed:25783203}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Mucopolysaccharidosis-plus syndrome (MPSPS) [MIM:617303]: A form of mucopolysaccharidosis, a group of diseases characterized by excessive accumulation and secretion of oligomucopoloysaccharides. MPSPS is a multisystemic disorder characterized by coarse facial features, dysostosis multiplex, hepatosplenomegaly, respiratory difficulties, mental retardation, developmental delay, pyramidal signs, severe chronic anemia, renal involvement and cardiac defects. Laboratory analyses show proteinuria with glomerular foamy cells, excess secretion of urinary glycosaminoglycans, and extremely high levels of plasma heparan sulphate. Disease onset is in infancy. Most patients die in the first years of life due to cardiorespiratory failure. MPSPS inheritance is autosomal recessive. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27547915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28013294}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
