Inherited Platelet Function Disorders
- P2RY12-Related Platelet Disorder (Platelet-Type Bleeding Disorder 8)Autosomal recessive
A recessive disorder of the platelet ADP receptor encoded by P2RY12, causing mild to moderate bleeding.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Knowing about it helps plan bleeding prevention around surgery, dental work and childbirth, and avoid medicines that affect platelet function.
Inheritance
- Autosomal recessive
- It takes a changed copy from each parent. With one, you are a carrier and usually unaffected; when both parents are carriers, each child has a one-in-four chance of inheriting two.
How P2RY12 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 2.2 kb of the gene's 47.9 kb; 1,029 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads P2RY12
3
positions in P2RY12 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 47.9 kb of P2RY12, introns included, not only the 2.2 kb of exons.
