How a genome test reads FAR1

5

positions in FAR1 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic

3 of them (60%) fall in regions short reads find hard.

  • Segmental duplications (3 sites)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 63.7 kb of FAR1, introns included, not only the 5.3 kb of exons.

Where this comes from

  • HGNC: the gene's symbol, name, other symbols and location.
  • MANE Select v1.5, from NCBI and EMBL-EBI: the transcript, its exons and coding sequence.
  • ClinVar and the GIAB stratifications: known disease-causing sites, and the regions short reads find hard.
  • The Human Phenotype Ontology, release 2026-09-01: the traits linked to the gene. Find out more at hpo.jax.org.
