NCIt definition : Human CHN2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7p15.3 and is approximately
392 kb in length. This allele, which encodes beta-chimaerin protein, plays a role
in both the proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells. Decreased expression
of this gene is associated with high-grade gliomas and breast tumors, and increased
expression of this gene is associated with lymphomas. Mutations in this gene have
been associated with schizophrenia in men.;
