Gene: EVI2B

Alternate names for this Gene: CD361|D17S376|EVDB

Gene Summary:

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q11.2

Description of this Gene: ecotropic viral integration site 2B

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: NF1

Alternate names for this Gene: NFNS|VRNF|WSS

Gene Summary: This gene product appears to function as a negative regulator of the ras signal transduction pathway. Mutations in this gene have been linked to neurofibromatosis type 1, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Watson syndrome. The mRNA for this gene is subject to RNA editing (CGA>UGA->Arg1306Term) resulting in premature translation termination. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have also been described for this gene.
