NCIt synonyms : DNA2-Like Gene; PEOA6; DNA2L; DNA2 DNA Replication Helicase 2-Like (Yeast) Gene; DNA Replication Helicase/Nuclease 2 wt Allele; DNA Replication Helicase 2, Yeast, Homolog of Gene; RP11-9E13.1; hDNA2; DNA Replication Helicase 2 Homolog (Yeast) Gene; SCKL8;
NCIt definition : Human DNA2 wild-type allele is located within 10q21.3-q22.1 and is approximately 58
kb in length. This allele, which encodes DNA replication ATP-dependent helicase/nuclease
DNA2 protein, plays a role in DNA replication and repair. Mutation of the gene is
associated with autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial
DNA deletions type 6 and may be associated with Seckel Syndrome 8.;
