    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 4.7 kb of the gene's 91.1 kb; 3,258 of those bases code for the protein.

    How a genome test reads TAF4

    17

    positions in TAF4 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 91.1 kb of TAF4, introns included, not only the 4.7 kb of exons.
