Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
One of 62 genes linked to it
A group of inherited peripheral neuropathies causing progressive weakness and wasting of the distal muscles and loss of sensation, mainly in the feet and hands.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 5 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Genetic counseling, subtype-specific monitoring, physical therapy, orthotics, neurotoxic drug avoidance, gene-specific clinical trials, surveillance for associated features
How SBF2 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 7.5 kb of the gene's 515.6 kb; 5,550 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads SBF2
74
positions in SBF2 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
2 of them (2.7%) fall in regions short reads find hard.
- Low mappability (2 sites)Regions where 100 bp or 250 bp reads cannot be placed uniquely.
A whole genome covers all 515.6 kb of SBF2, introns included, not only the 7.5 kb of exons.
