Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation
- Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG)
One of 98 genes linked to it
A large group of inherited conditions in which sugar chains (glycans) are not correctly built or attached to proteins and lipids, often affecting the brain, liver, blood clotting, growth and many other body systems. Most are autosomal recessive, but some are X-linked or autosomal dominant.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
How COG2 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 2.9 kb of the gene's 51.5 kb; 2,217 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads COG2
5
positions in COG2 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 51.5 kb of COG2, introns included, not only the 2.9 kb of exons.
