NCIt definition : Human MRE11 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q21 and is approximately
77 kb in length. This allele, which encodes double-strand break repair protein MRE11,
is involved in the modulation of DNA recombination, telomere maintenance and double-strand
break repair. Mutation of the gene is associated with ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder.;
