Largest and smallest gene

[Aswathy Praveen]

Hello,

I would like to know, which is the largest protein coding gene in human body. 

I read from papers and sites that DMD is the largest gene. But, I found out that,

CNTNAP2 gene transcript with start location 145813452 and end location 148118088 has a length of  2304636. 

Also, PTPRD transcript of start position 8314245 and end location 10612723 has a length of 2298478 

and DMD transcript with start location 31137344 and end location 33357726 has a length of 2220382 

I found these numbers from UCSC tracks. Could you please clear the confusion?

Thanks, 

Aswathy
