Inherited Congenital Heart Defects
- Atrial Septal Defect
A hole between the upper chambers of the heart; inherited forms are caused by genes such as NKX2-5, GATA4, TBX20, MYH6 and ACTC1, and NKX2-5 forms also carry a risk of progressive heart block.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Knowing about it supports heart imaging and, for NKX2-5, regular ECG checks.
How TLL1 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 7.3 kb of the gene's 231.2 kb; 3,042 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads TLL1
2
positions in TLL1 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 231.2 kb of TLL1, introns included, not only the 7.3 kb of exons.
