Primary Lymphoedema & Lymphatic Malformations
- Hennekam Syndrome Type 1Autosomal recessive
A condition caused by changes in CCBE1 that combines lymphoedema, swollen lymph vessels in the gut and other organs, and variable learning difficulties.
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
Inheritance
- Autosomal recessive
- It takes a changed copy from each parent. With one, you are a carrier and usually unaffected; when both parents are carriers, each child has a one-in-four chance of inheriting two.

- 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 6.3 kb of the gene's 266.5 kb; 1,221 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads CCBE1
5
positions in CCBE1 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 266.5 kb of CCBE1, introns included, not only the 6.3 kb of exons.
