Biologically Significant Variant Comments | ||||||||||||||||
The RefSeq gene (Gene ID:11245) has 3 coding exons, first contains most of TM 1, second contains most of TMs 2 and 3. There are a number of cDNAs which insert an extra 58 base exon between exons 1 and 2 and then use a compensating shorter (by 61 bases at acceptor end) version of exon 2. These alternate splice variants seem to be associated with one allele of the SNP rs66490630 which is the last base of the extra exon. |
