No Genome Test report reads ELMO2 yet. The test sequences your whole genome, so your data includes it all the same.
How ELMO2 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 3.7 kb of the gene's 40.6 kb; 2,163 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads ELMO2
5
positions in ELMO2 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
1 of them (20%) falls in a region short reads find hard.
- Segmental duplications (1 site)Copies of at least 1 kb sharing at least 90% identity with another part of the genome (paralogues, pseudogenes); reads may align to the wrong copy.
A whole genome covers all 40.6 kb of ELMO2, introns included, not only the 3.7 kb of exons.
