Hereditary Corneal Dystrophies
- Corneal Dystrophy
A group of inherited conditions affecting one or more layers of the cornea, including Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (often linked to a TCF4 repeat expansion), TGFBI-related granular and lattice dystrophies, and rarer types caused by genes such as SLC4A11, COL8A2, ZEB1 and CHST6.
- 4 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Carriers of TGFBI variants are generally advised to avoid laser refractive surgery (LASIK or PRK), which can make deposits worse; corneal transplant can restore vision in advanced disease.
How TACSTD2 is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Known disease-causing sites
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 1.8 kb; 972 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads TACSTD2
2
positions in TACSTD2 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 1.8 kb of TACSTD2, introns included, not only the 1.8 kb of exons.
