RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR and has alternatively spliced 3' terminal exon, which causes a frame-shift compared to variant 1. The resulting shorter isoform (2) has a distinct C-terminus compared to isoform 1.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (4) lacks an exon in the mid-region compared to variant 1. It is represented as non-coding because the use of the translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders this transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).

Suppressed Reference Sequence(s)

The following Reference Sequences have been suppressed. Explain

  1. NM_001007258.1: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_001007258.1: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because it contains the wrong CDS. If the correct CDS was annotated, it would be a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) candidate.

  2. NM_001007260.1: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_001007260.1: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because it contains the wrong CDS. If the correct CDS was annotated, it would be a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) candidate.

  3. NM_001007262.1: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_001007262.1: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because it is a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) candidate.
