Intellectual Disability
One of 233 genes linked to it
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 5 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
How RAI1 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 7.7 kb of the gene's 130 kb; 5,721 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads RAI1
68
positions in RAI1 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 130 kb of RAI1, introns included, not only the 7.7 kb of exons.
