BRCA2 wt Allele
Human BRCA2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 13q12.3 and is approximately 84 kb in length. This allele, which encodes breast cancer type 2 susceptibility protein, is involved in double-stranded DNA break repair, homologous recombination and transcriptional regulation. Certain allelic variants of the BRCA2 gene are associated with early-onset breast cancer, prostate cancer and Fanconi anemia. (NCI Thesaurus)
