Gene information for PRRC2A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7916
Official gene symbolPRRC2A
Full nameHLA-B associated transcript 2
Aliases,BAT2,D6S51,D6S51E,G2,
Gene summaryA cluster of genes, BAT1-BAT5, has been localized in the vicinity of the genes for TNF alpha and TNF beta. These genes are all within the human major histocompatibility complex class III region. This gene has microsatellite repeats which are associated with the age-at-onset of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and possibly thought to be involved with the inflammatory process of pancreatic beta-cell destruction during the development of IDDM. This gene is also a candidate gene for the development of rheumatoid arthritis. [provided by RefSeq]
