Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 327762 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 5'-flap endonuclease activity. Involved in mitotic telomere maintenance via semi-conservative replication. Located in chromosome, telomeric region. Is expressed in heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 8; autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions 6; isolated growth hormone deficiency type IA; and mitochondrial myopathy. Orthologous to human DNA2 (DNA replication helicase/nuclease 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality before E7.5. Mice heterozygous for the allele exhibit shortened telomeres, chromosome segregation errors and increased tumor incidence associated with aneuploidy. [provided by MGI curators] |
