Other Inborn Errors of Immunity
- Inborn error of immunity
One of 114 genes linked to it
Inherited disorders of the immune system caused by changes in single genes, affecting how the body fights infection or regulates inflammation.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
- Immunodeficiency Disease
One of 170 genes linked to it
Disease in which there is a deficiency or defect in the mechanisms of immunity, either cellular or humoral.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
HSCT for SCID and severe PIDs; immunoglobulin replacement (IVIG/SCIG) for antibody deficiencies; leniolisib (Joenja, FDA 2023) for APDS; gene therapy for ADA-SCID; abatacept for CTLA4/LRBA deficiency; prophylactic antibiotics; G-CSF for CGD
How MASP2 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 2.5 kb of the gene's 20.7 kb; 2,061 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads MASP2
3
positions in MASP2 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
1 of them (33%) falls in a region short reads find hard.
- Segmental duplications (1 site)Copies of at least 1 kb sharing at least 90% identity with another part of the genome (paralogues, pseudogenes); reads may align to the wrong copy.
A whole genome covers all 20.7 kb of MASP2, introns included, not only the 2.5 kb of exons.
