This is a list of variants' phenotypes submitted to ClinVar and linked to the WNT7A gene.

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the WNT7A 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: Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Functions in the canonical Wnt/beta- catenin signaling pathway (By similarity). Plays an important role in embryonic development, including dorsal versus ventral patterning during limb development, skeleton development and urogenital tract development (PubMed:16826533). Required for normal, sexually dimorphic development of the Mullerian ducts, and for normal fertility in both sexes. Required for normal neural stem cell proliferation in the hippocampus dentate gyrus. Required for normal progress through the cell cycle in neural progenitor cells, for self-renewal of neural stem cells, and for normal neuronal differentiation and maturation. Promotes formation of synapses via its interaction with FZD5 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P24383, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16826533}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Limb pelvis hypoplasia aplasia syndrome (LPHAS) [MIM:276820]: A syndrome of severe deficiency of the extremities due to hypo- or aplasia of one or more long bones of one or more limbs. Pelvic manifestations include hip dislocation, hypoplastic iliac bone and aplastic pubic bones. Thoracic deformity, unusual facies and genitourinary anomalies can be present. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16826533, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17431918, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20949531, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21271649, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27638328}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Fuhrmann syndrome (FUHRS) [MIM:228930]: Distinct limb- malformation disorder characterized also by various degrees of limb aplasia/hypoplasia and joint dysplasia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16826533}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
