NCIt definition : Human XRCC4 wild-type allele is located within 5q13-q14 and is approximately 276 kb
in length. This allele, which encodes DNA-repair protein XRCC4, plays a role in the
repair of DNA double-strand break by non-homologous end joining and the completion
of V(D)J recombination events.;
NCIt note : The XRCC4 gene contains 8 exons, and alternative transcription initiation and alternative
splicing generates several transcript variants and two protein isoforms.;
