Ectodermal Dysplasias
- WNT10A-related ectodermal dysplasia
A WNT10A disorder ranging from isolated missing teeth to odonto-onycho-dermal dysplasia with nail and skin changes.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 5 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Early dental assessment helps plan treatment for missing teeth.
Hereditary Palmoplantar Keratodermas and Pachyonychia Congenita
- Hereditary palmoplantar keratoderma
Inherited thickening of the palms and soles, including pachyonychia congenita, mal de Meleda, Nagashima-type and Bothnian keratodermas, keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, and the CTSC-related Papillon-Lefèvre and Haim-Munk syndromes.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
Diagnosis guides foot care and pain management; for CTSC-related forms early dental treatment protects the teeth, and GJB2-related forms warrant a hearing check.
Hypodontia and Anodontia
- Tooth Agenesis (Hypodontia)
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
How WNT10A 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 2.1 kb of the gene's 13.1 kb; 1,254 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads WNT10A
107
positions in WNT10A 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 13.1 kb of WNT10A, introns included, not only the 2.1 kb of exons.
