Thrombophilia
- Inherited Thrombophilia
- ClinGen rates the link moderate
- 2 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Anticoagulation (duration by genotype); avoid estrogen-containing contraceptives; LMWH for pregnancy prophylaxis; extended post-surgical anticoagulation; lifelong anticoagulation for compound/high-risk genotypes
How HRG is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- 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 1.9 kb of the gene's 12.2 kb; 1,578 of those bases code for the protein.
