Inherited Thrombocytopenias
- Inherited Thrombocytopenia
A group of conditions causing a lifelong low platelet count, linked to genes such as MYH9, ANKRD26, ETV6, WAS, MPL, RBM8A, GATA1 and MECOM, and inherited in dominant, recessive or X-linked patterns.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
A genetic diagnosis avoids misdiagnosis as immune thrombocytopenia, with unnecessary steroids or spleen removal, and guides monitoring for related kidney, hearing or blood problems.

Other Inborn Errors of Immunity
- Immunodeficiency Disease
One of 170 genes linked to it
Disease in which there is a deficiency or defect in the mechanisms of immunity, either cellular or humoral.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
HSCT for SCID and severe PIDs; immunoglobulin replacement (IVIG/SCIG) for antibody deficiencies; leniolisib (Joenja, FDA 2023) for APDS; gene therapy for ADA-SCID; abatacept for CTLA4/LRBA deficiency; prophylactic antibiotics; G-CSF for CGD
How STIM1 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 237.5 kb; 2,151 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads STIM1
29
positions in STIM1 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 237.5 kb of STIM1, introns included, not only the 4.2 kb of exons.
