NCIt synonyms : DNA (Cytosine-5-)-Methyltransferase 3 Beta wt Allele; DNA MTase HsaIIIB Gene; DNA Methyltransferase 3B Gene; DNA Methyltransferase HsaIIIB Gene; M.HsaIIIB Gene; ICF Gene;
NCIt definition : Human DNMT3B wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20q11.2 and is approximately
47 kb in length. This allele, which encodes DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3B
protein, plays a role in de novo methylation. Certain allelic variants of the DNMT3B
gene cause immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome.;
NCIt note : Expression is analyzed as part of the 17-gene leukemia stem cell scoring system (LSC17).
