†
The mRNA boundaries are calculated using the gene's default feature set from NCBI, mapped
onto the UCSC Golden Path. PharmGKB sets gene boundaries by expanding the mRNA boundaries
by no less than 10,000 bases upstream (5') and 3,000 bases downstream (3') to allow for
potential regulatory regions.
