Rare Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes
- Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome
A group of rare conditions linked to genes such as DNAJC21, MYSM1 and SRP72, and to combined ADH5 and ALDH2 deficiency (AMED syndrome), causing low blood counts, sometimes with developmental or other features.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
A diagnosis informs the choice of related stem cell donors and transplant preparation, and supports monitoring for myelodysplastic syndrome and leukaemia.
How MYSM1 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 7.8 kb of the gene's 45.3 kb; 2,487 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads MYSM1
8
positions in MYSM1 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 45.3 kb of MYSM1, introns included, not only the 7.8 kb of exons.
