- 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 1.9 kb of the gene's 130.3 kb; 1,005 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads HSF2BP
2
positions in HSF2BP 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 130.3 kb of HSF2BP, introns included, not only the 1.9 kb of exons.
