NCIt definition : Human MX2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 21q22.3 and is approximately
46 kb in length. This allele, which encodes interferon-induced GTP-binding protein
Mx2, is involved in both binding and hydrolysis of GTP.;
NCIt note : A SNP located in an intron of the MX2 gene may be associated with susceptibility to
melanoma. (Nature Genetics. 2011; 43:1108-1113.);
