Cystinuria
Cystinuria is a renal tubular amino acid transport disorder characterized by recurrent formation of kidneys cystine stones.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 5 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
How SLC7A9 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 1.8 kb of the gene's 39.3 kb; 1,464 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads SLC7A9
58
positions in SLC7A9 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 39.3 kb of SLC7A9, introns included, not only the 1.8 kb of exons.
