Spinal Muscular Atrophy
A group of disorders characterised by degeneration of spinal cord anterior horn cells, leading to progressive muscle weakness and atrophy.
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Gene therapy (onasemnogene abeparvovec), antisense oligonucleotide therapy (nusinersen), oral splicing modifier (risdiplam), supportive care
How TSEN15 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 1.9 kb of the gene's 22.5 kb; 516 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads TSEN15
1
position in TSEN15 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 22.5 kb of TSEN15, introns included, not only the 1.9 kb of exons.
