NCIt definition : Human PARN wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16p13.12 and is approximately
197 kb in length. This allele, which encodes poly(A)-specific ribonuclease PARN protein,
plays a role in the positive regulation of mRNA decay and telomere synthesis. Mutation
of the gene is associated with telomere-related pulmonary fibrosis and/or bone marrow
failure type 4 and autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita type 6.;
