NCIt synonyms : DKCB2; NHP2, S. cerevisiae, Homolog of Gene; Nucleolar Protein Family A, Member 2 (H/ACA Small Nucleolar RNPs) Gene; HSPC286; FLJ20479; NHP2P; Nucleolar Protein Family A, Member 2 Gene; NOLA2; NHP2 Ribonucleoprotein Homolog (Yeast) Gene; NHP2 Ribonucleoprotein wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human NHP2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q35.3 and is approximately
5 kb in length. This allele, which encodes H/ACA ribonucleoprotein complex subunit
2 protein, plays a role in both ribosome biogenesis and telomere maintenance. Mutation
of the gene is associated with autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita type 2.;
