NCIt definition : Human SNHG5 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6q14.3 and is approximately
18 kb in length. This allele, which encodes long intergenic non-protein coding RNA
44, is involved in the synthesis of small nucleolar RNAs U50 and U50'. Translocation
t(3;6)(q27;q15) involving the SNHG5 and BCL6 genes is associated with B-cell lymphoma.;
NCIt note : The SNHG5 gene contains 6 exons; and introns 4 and 5 contain the sequences of SNORD50B
and SNORD50A. (OMIM);
