Anterior Segment Dysgenesis, Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome & Aniridia
- Anterior Segment Dysgenesis
A group of developmental conditions of the front of the eye, including Peters anomaly, caused by changes in genes such as FOXC1, PITX3, FOXE3, CYP1B1 and CPAMD8.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 6 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
There is a high lifetime risk of glaucoma, so regular eye-pressure monitoring is recommended.
Autosomal Dominant Cerebellar Ataxias (SCAs and DRPLA)
- Autosomal Dominant Cerebellar AtaxiaAutosomal dominant
A group of dominantly inherited ataxias, including SCA1, SCA2, SCA3 (Machado-Joseph disease), SCA6, SCA7, SCA17, SCA27B and DRPLA, caused by repeat expansions or point variants in genes such as ATXN1, ATXN2, ATXN3, CACNA1A, ATXN7, TBP, ATN1 and FGF14.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 4 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Genetic counselling and presymptomatic testing for relatives, physiotherapy and symptom management; some forms, such as SCA27B, may respond to specific medication.
Inheritance
- Autosomal dominant
- One changed copy, from either parent, is enough. A parent who has one passes it on to each child with a one-in-two chance.

- 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 9.9 kb of the gene's 354.2 kb; 8,277 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads ITPR1

positions in ITPR1 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 354.2 kb of ITPR1, introns included, not only the 9.9 kb of exons.
