Genes linked to Basal ganglia calcification, idiopathic, 4
PDGFRB: Platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta
Its signaling supports pericytes, vascular smooth-muscle cells, and other mesenchymal lineages during growth and tissue repair. Oncogenic fusions drive myeloid neoplasms, while germline activating or loss-of-function variants can cause developmental and vascular disorders.
2 disease-causing and 107 uncertain variants in PDGFRB are linked to Basal ganglia calcification, idiopathic, 4.
Known disease-causing variants in Basal ganglia calcification, idiopathic, 4
| Variant | Position | Protein part | Clinical label |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDGFRB P560L | 560 | Cytoplasmic | Disease-causing (★★) |
| PDGFRB L658P | 658 | Protein kinase | Disease-causing |

About this data
Variant–disease links come from ClinVar, Open Targets and UniProt, pooled from the latest public CATVariant analysis of each human protein. Evidence scores use the ACMG/AMP Bayesian points scale with computable criteria only (position among known disease variants, rarity in gnomAD, calibrated predictors, deep mutational scanning); there is no family or patient data, so they prioritise variants for expert review and never classify them.
