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 2.9 kb of the gene's 25.3 kb; 927 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads LDLRAP1
59
positions in LDLRAP1 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 25.3 kb of LDLRAP1, introns included, not only the 2.9 kb of exons.
