PTCH2 wt Allele

Preferred Label : PTCH2 wt Allele;

NCIt synonyms : Patched (Drosophila) Homolog 2 Gene; Patched Homolog 2 (Drosophila) Gene; PTC2; UNQ560/PRO1121/PRO57079; Patched, Drosophila, Homolog of, 2 Gene; Patched 2 wt Allele;

NCIt definition : Human PTCH2 wild-type allele is located within 1p33-p34 and is approximately 21 kb in length. This allele, which encodes protein patched homolog 2 protein, is involved in the formation of embryonic structures. Aberrant allelic expression has been linked to medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma, suggesting that variants play a role in the development of some tumors.;
