NCIt definition : Human RAD51B wild-type allele is located within 14q23-q24.2 and is approximately 776
kb in length. This allele, which encodes DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog 2, is involved
in the modulation of DNA repair. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene may contribute
to breast cancer susceptibility.;
