Retinitis Pigmentosa
One of 77 genes linked to it
A group of inherited retinal dystrophies with progressive loss of rod and then cone photoreceptors, causing night blindness and gradual loss of peripheral vision.
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
How ARL2BP 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 2 kb of the gene's 8.4 kb; 492 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads ARL2BP
5
positions in ARL2BP 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 8.4 kb of ARL2BP, introns included, not only the 2 kb of exons.
