Intracranial Berry Aneurysm
- Autosomal dominant
An intracranial aneurysm with a characteristic rounded shape; the most common form of cerebral aneurysm.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
Primary Lymphoedema & Lymphatic Malformations
- Lymphatic Malformation 13Autosomal recessive
A rare inherited form of primary lymphoedema.
- 2 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
Inheritance
- Autosomal dominant
- One changed copy, from either parent, is enough. A parent who has one passes it on to each child with a one-in-two chance.
- Autosomal recessive
- It takes a changed copy from each parent. With one, you are a carrier and usually unaffected; when both parents are carriers, each child has a one-in-four chance of inheriting two.
How THSD1 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 3 kb of the gene's 29 kb; 2,559 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads THSD1
4
positions in THSD1 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 29 kb of THSD1, introns included, not only the 3 kb of exons.
