NCIt synonyms : U50B; U50'; snoRNA, U50-Prime Gene; RNA, U50' Small Nuclear Gene; snoRNA, U50' Gene; RNA, U50-Prime Small Nuclear Gene; Small Nucleolar RNA, C/D Box, 50B Gene; U50-Prime; Small Nucleolar RNA, C/D Box 50B wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human SNORD50B wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6q14.3 and is approximately
2 kb in length. This allele, which encodes U50' small nucleolar RNA, is involved in
the metabolism of ribosomal RNA. Somatic loss of the gene may be associated with various
neoplastic diseases.;
NCIt note : GenBank reports that the human SNORD50A and SNORD50B genes are co-located within the
intronic U50 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) host gene (SNHG5; U50HG) locus.;
