Darier and Hailey-Hailey Disease
- Darier diseaseAutosomal dominant
An ATP2A2 disorder causing greasy, crusted papules on the chest, back and scalp, with nail changes.
- 2 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Avoiding heat, sunlight and friction, and treating infections early, reduces flares; it has also been associated with mood disorders, which is useful for clinicians to know.
- Acrokeratosis verruciformisAutosomal dominant
Flat, wart-like papules on the backs of the hands and feet, related to Darier disease.
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
Inheritance
- Autosomal dominant
- One changed copy, from either parent, is enough. A parent who has one passes it on to each child with a one-in-two chance.

- 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 8.3 kb of the gene's 69.8 kb; 3,129 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads ATP2A2

positions in ATP2A2 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 69.8 kb of ATP2A2, introns included, not only the 8.3 kb of exons.
