    Title: DNASE1L2, as a Carcinogenic Marker, Affects the Phenotype of Breast Cancer Cells Via Regulating Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Process.
  2. Study surveyed the non-synonymous SNPs of DNASE1L2: 19 SNPs originating from frameshift/nonsense mutations found in DNASE1L2 resulted in loss of function of the enzyme. Thus, the present findings suggest that each of the minor alleles for these SNPs may serve as one of genetic risk factors for parakeratotic skin diseases such as psoriasis, even though they lack a worldwide genetic distribution.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
