- 6 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
How TRIO 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 11.5 kb of the gene's 366.9 kb; 9,294 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads TRIO
80
positions in TRIO 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 366.9 kb of TRIO, introns included, not only the 11.5 kb of exons.
