Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
Abnormal ovarian or testicular function due to insufficient hormonal stimulation from the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia & Coloboma
- Syndromic Microphthalmia
Microphthalmia occurring with features outside the eye, caused by changes in genes such as SOX2, OTX2, BCOR, STRA6 and BMP4.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 5 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
A genetic diagnosis guides checks for associated features, such as pituitary hormone problems with SOX2 or OTX2, and informs recurrence risk.
How RAB3GAP2 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 7.3 kb of the gene's 124.2 kb; 4,182 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads RAB3GAP2

positions in RAB3GAP2 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 124.2 kb of RAB3GAP2, introns included, not only the 7.3 kb of exons.
