No Genome Test report reads NLRP7 yet. The test sequences your whole genome, so your data includes it all the same.
How NLRP7 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 3.4 kb of the gene's 24 kb; 3,114 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads NLRP7
13
positions in NLRP7 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
2 of them (15%) fall in regions short reads find hard.
- Low mappability (1 site)Regions where 100 bp or 250 bp reads cannot be placed uniquely.
- Segmental duplications (2 sites)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 24 kb of NLRP7, introns included, not only the 3.4 kb of exons.
