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 0.6 kb of the gene's 4 kb; 555 of those bases code for the protein.

How a genome test reads RPL17

1

position in RPL17 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic

1 of them (100%) falls in a region short reads find hard.

  • Low mappability (1 site)Regions where 100 bp or 250 bp reads cannot be placed uniquely.

A whole genome covers all 4 kb of RPL17, introns included, not only the 0.6 kb of exons.

Where this comes from

  • HGNC: the gene's symbol, name, other symbols and location.
  • MANE Select v1.5, from NCBI and EMBL-EBI: the transcript, its exons and coding sequence.
  • ClinVar and the GIAB stratifications: known disease-causing sites, and the regions short reads find hard.
