HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: CSPG4P1Y
Cytogenetic location: Yq11.23 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): Y:25,482,908-25,486,705 (from NCBI)
Skaletsky et al. (2003) stated that CSPG4LY is transcribed, but it does not appear to encode a protein.
Skaletsky et al. (2003) identified 2 copies of the CSPG4LY gene on chromosome Yq. The genes are in opposite orientation and are located within the male-specific region of chromosome Y (MSY).
Repping et al. (2004) identified the b2/b3 deletion within the AZFc region (415000) of the Y chromosome, in which 1 of the 2 copies of the CSPG4LY gene is deleted. The b2/b3 deletion has no obvious effect on fitness.
