NCIt definition : This polycistronic gene locus is located in the vicinity of 13q31.3 and is approximately
7 kb in length. This locus encodes at least six microRNA genes. Microdeletions within
this locus are associated with Feingold syndrome 2. Amplification of this locus may
be associated with various cancers.;
NCIt note : UniProt reports a putative protein product (70 aa, 8 kDa) for the human MIR17HG gene
called putative microRNA 17 host gene protein (putative microRNA 17 host gene protein).
(UniProt Q75NE6); Expression of MIR17HG is regulated by MYC. This locus encodes MIR17, MIR18A, MIR19A,
MIR19B1, MIR20A, and MIR92A1.;
