NCIt synonyms : Recombination Activating Protein 1 Gene; RING Finger Protein 74 Gene; Recombination Activating Gene 1 Gene; MGC43321; V(D)J Recombination-Activating Protein 1 Gene; RNF74; RAG-1; Recombination Activating 1 wt Allele; Recombination-Activating Gene 1 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human RAG1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11p13 and is approximately
12 kb in length. This allele, which encodes V(D)J recombination-activating protein
1, plays a role in the mediation of immunoglobulin recombination. Mutation of the
gene is associated with several hereditary immunodeficiencies. Genetic variation may
be associated with the relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.;
NCIt note : Mutations in the RAG1 gene are associated with combined cellular and humoral immune
defects with granulomas, severe combined immunodeficiency, Omenn syndrome and alpha/beta
T-cell lymphopenia with gamma/delta T-cell expansion, severe cytomegalovirus infection,
and autoimmunity. (UniProt);
