    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: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains an alternate 5' exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding due to the presence of an upstream ORF that is expected to inhibit the translation of the longest ORF; translation of the upstream ORF would result in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
