Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the YAP1 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: Transcriptional regulator which can act both as a coactivator and a corepressor and is the critical downstream regulatory target in the Hippo signaling pathway that plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis (PubMed:17974916, PubMed:18280240, PubMed:18579750, PubMed:21364637). The core of this pathway is composed of a kinase cascade wherein STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1, in complex with its regulatory protein SAV1, phosphorylates and activates LATS1/2 in complex with its regulatory protein MOB1, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates YAP1 oncoprotein and WWTR1/TAZ (PubMed:18158288). Plays a key role in tissue tension and 3D tissue shape by regulating cortical actomyosin network formation. Acts via ARHGAP18, a Rho GTPase activating protein that suppresses F-actin polymerization (PubMed:25778702). Plays a key role to control cell proliferation in response to cell contact. Phosphorylation of YAP1 by LATS1/2 inhibits its translocation into the nucleus to regulate cellular genes important for cell proliferation, cell death, and cell migration (PubMed:18158288). The presence of TEAD transcription factors are required for it to stimulate gene expression, cell growth, anchorage-independent growth, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) induction (PubMed:18579750). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17974916, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18158288, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18280240, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18579750, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21364637, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25778702}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Coloboma, ocular, with or without hearing impairment, cleft lip/palate, and/or mental retardation (COB1) [MIM:120433]: An autosomal dominant disease characterized by uveal colobomata, microphthalmia, cataract and cleft lip/palate. Considerable variability is observed among patients, uveal colobomata being the most constant feature. Some patients manifest mental retardation of varying degree and/or sensorineural, mid-frequency hearing loss. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24462371}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
