NCIt definition : Human TREX1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p21.31 and is approximately
3 kb in length. This allele, which encodes three prime repair exonuclease 1 protein,
plays a role in DNA repair. Mutation of the gene is associated with Aicardi-Goutieres
syndrome 1, Chilblain lupus, vasculopathy, retinal, with cerebral leukodystrophy,
and increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus.;
NCIt note : GeneID 11277 was annotated as a single gene with two non-overlapping coding regions.
GeneID 11277 now represents only the downstream coding region encoding three prime
repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1). The upstream coding region encoding ATR-interacting
protein (ATRIP) is represented by geneID 84126. (29 May 2007, EntrezGene);
