Leigh Syndrome
One of 69 genes linked to it
A progressive neurological disease defined by specific neuropathological features associating brainstem and basal ganglia lesions.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 5 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
Primary Mitochondrial Disease
- Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain Complex Deficiency
One of 61 genes linked to it
Isolated deficiencies of complex I, II, III, IV or V, caused by variants in nuclear or mitochondrial genes, which can affect the brain, muscles, heart, liver and other energy-demanding organs.
- 5 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Knowing can end a diagnostic search and guide surveillance of affected organs and avoidance of drugs toxic to mitochondria.
How LRPPRC is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- 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 6.6 kb of the gene's 109.8 kb; 4,185 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads LRPPRC
260
positions in LRPPRC 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 109.8 kb of LRPPRC, introns included, not only the 6.6 kb of exons.
