ADIPOR1 variant information |
NM_015999.5: c.31delC (p.Q11Rfs*24) (Homozygous) Absent in control databases |
AOH region covering the ADIPOR1 mutation | Chr1: 202544307 – 204103714 (1.56 Mb) |
RD, retinal disease; BBS, Bardet-Biedl syndrome; AOH, absence of heterozygosity. ExAC, exome aggregation consortium; CHARGE, Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology; NHLBI-ESP, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Grand Opportunities Exome Sequencing Project. Genome coordinates were based on human hg19 genome. Nucleotide numbering uses +1 as the A of the ATG translation initiation codon in the reference sequence, with the initiation codon as codon 1.
