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 1.5 kb of the gene's 9.4 kb; 720 of those bases code for the protein.

Sequencing FGF3

12

positions in FGF3 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 9.4 kb of FGF3, introns included, not only the 1.5 kb of exons.
