Dyskeratosis Congenita
Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare ectodermal dysplasia that often presents with the classic triad of nail dysplasia, skin pigmentary changes, and oral leukoplakia associated with a high risk of bone marrow failure (BMF) and cancer.
- ClinGen rates the link moderate
- 3 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
How WRAP53 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 1.7 kb of the gene's 15 kb; 1,647 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads WRAP53
7
positions in WRAP53 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 15 kb of WRAP53, introns included, not only the 1.7 kb of exons.
