Female Infertility
Diminished or absent ability of a female to achieve conception.
- 2 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
Male Infertility
The inability of the male to effect fertilization of an ovum after a specified period of unprotected intercourse. Male sterility is permanent infertility.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
How STAG3 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 4.2 kb of the gene's 36.5 kb; 3,681 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads STAG3
10
positions in STAG3 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
3 of them (30%) fall in regions short reads find hard.
- Segmental duplications (3 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 36.5 kb of STAG3, introns included, not only the 4.2 kb of exons.
