NCIt definition : Human HSD3B2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p13.1 and is approximately
8 kb in length. This allele, which encodes 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta
5- 4-isomerase type 2 protein, is involved in the oxidative conversion of ketosteroids
during the biosynthesis of hormonal steroids. Mutations in this gene are associated
with 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, type II, deficiency.;
NCIt note : The human HSD3B1 and HSD3B2 genes have 93.6% sequence identity, including the 5-prime
and 3-prime untranslated regions. (OMIM); Ensembl and HGNC place this gene at 1p12.;
