Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the ZEB1 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_001174096.2. 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: Acts as a transcriptional repressor. Inhibits interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene expression. Enhances or represses the promoter activity of the ATP1A1 gene depending on the quantity of cDNA and on the cell type. Represses E-cadherin promoter and induces an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by recruiting SMARCA4/BRG1. Represses BCL6 transcription in the presence of the corepressor CTBP1. Positively regulates neuronal differentiation. Represses RCOR1 transcription activation during neurogenesis. Represses transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3'). Promotes tumorigenicity by repressing stemness-inhibiting microRNAs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19935649, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20175752, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20418909}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Corneal dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial, 6 (FECD6) [MIM:613270]: A corneal disease caused by loss of endothelium of the central cornea. It is characterized by focal wart-like guttata that arise from Descemet membrane and develop in the central cornea, epithelial blisters, reduced vision and pain. Descemet membrane is thickened by abnormal collagenous deposition. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20036349, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23599324, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25190660}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
