No Genome Test report reads RERE yet. The test sequences your whole genome, so your data includes it all the same.
How RERE 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 8 kb of the gene's 465.2 kb; 4,701 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads RERE
42
positions in RERE where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
6 of them (14%) fall in regions short reads find hard.
- Segmental duplications (6 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 465.2 kb of RERE, introns included, not only the 8 kb of exons.
