NCIt definition : Human PCNX2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q42.2 and is approximately
312 kb in length. This allele, which encodes pecanex-like protein 2, may be involved
in cell cycle regulation and tumorigenesis. Mutation of the gene is associated with
colorectal carcinomas.;
NCIt note : The PCNX2 gene contains mononucleotide repeats in the coding region that are characterized
by high mutational frequencies and biallelic mutations and are associated with high
microsatellite instability (MSI-H)-bearing neoplasms.;
