NCIt synonyms : VH; Homo sapiens Immunoglobulin Heavy Variable 3-21 Gene; Immunoglobulin Heavy Variable 3-21 wt Allele; IGHV321; Immunogloblin Heavy Chain Variable Region 3-21 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human IGHV3-21 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 14q32.33 and is approximately
1 kb in length. This allele, which encodes the immunoglobulin heavy variable 3-21
protein, plays a role in the structure of immunoglobulin heavy chains. Expression
of mutated IGHV3-21 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia may be associated with a poor
prognosis.;
NCIt note : There are 4 alleles of the IGHV3-21 gene.;
