NCIt definition : Human APOBEC3A wild-type allele is located within 22q13.1-q13.2 and is approximately
10 kb in length. This allele, which encodes DNA dC- dU-editing enzyme APOBEC-3A protein,
plays a role in the modulation of viral DNA modification. A deletion that fuses this
gene and the 3' end of the APOBEC3B gene may be associated with increased susceptibility
to neoplastic disease.;
NCIt note : The APOBEC3A gene is one of seven related genes or pseudogenes found in a cluster,
thought to result from gene duplication, on chromosome 22. (EntrezGene);
