Congenital Myopathies
- TTN-related myopathy
Skeletal muscle disorders caused by variants in TTN, which encodes the muscle protein titin, with onset from birth to adulthood.
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
- Centronuclear myopathy (including X-linked myotubular myopathy)
Congenital myopathies with centrally placed nuclei in muscle fibers, caused by MTM1, DNM2, BIN1 and other genes; the X-linked myotubular form (MTM1) is often severe in boys.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 4 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
How BIN1 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 2.5 kb of the gene's 59.1 kb; 1,782 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads BIN1
6
positions in BIN1 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 59.1 kb of BIN1, introns included, not only the 2.5 kb of exons.
