Familial Isolated Pituitary Adenoma (FIPA / X-LAG)
- Familial isolated pituitary adenoma
Pituitary adenomas occurring in two or more relatives without other endocrine tumour syndromes, including AIP-related disease and X-linked acrogigantism (GPR101).
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Carriers and relatives can be offered IGF-1 testing and pituitary imaging so tumours are found early.
How AIP is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Known disease-causing sites
- Stretches short reads find hard
Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 1.2 kb of the gene's 8.1 kb; 993 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads AIP
43
positions in AIP where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
None of them falls in a region short reads find hard.
A whole genome covers all 8.1 kb of AIP, introns included, not only the 1.2 kb of exons.
