| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 17535 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables nuclease activity. Involved in DNA strand resection involved in replication fork processing; chromosome organization; and double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including double-strand break repair; homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; and mitotic DNA damage checkpoint signaling. Located in PML body. Part of Mre11 complex. Colocalizes with chromosome, telomeric region. Is expressed in cerebral cortex and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Lynch syndrome; ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder-1; breast carcinoma; endometrial cancer; and gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human MRE11 (MRE11 homolog, double strand break repair nuclease). PHENOTYPE: Though mutation of this locus affected chromosome stability, mutant mice were no more susceptible to tumorigenesis than wild-type mice. Mutant female mice showed reduced fertility.
