Thrombophilia
- Inherited Thrombophilia
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 5 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Anticoagulation (duration by genotype); avoid estrogen-containing contraceptives; LMWH for pregnancy prophylaxis; extended post-surgical anticoagulation; lifelong anticoagulation for compound/high-risk genotypes
How PROC is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Known disease-causing sites
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 1.8 kb of the gene's 10.8 kb; 1,386 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads PROC
76
positions in PROC 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 10.8 kb of PROC, introns included, not only the 1.8 kb of exons.
