What's a GeneRIF?

For samples with heterozygous SNPs, PLAC4 RNA-SNP allelic ratio can be used for noninvasive prenatal detection of trisomy 21 by the multiplex SNaPshot assay. In Southeast China, PLAC4 Rs8130833 and Rs4818219 had higher frequency of heterozygosity.

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.
