nstd142 (Rahbari et al. 2017)
- Organism:
- Human
- Study Type:
- Control Set
- Submitter:
- Edward Hollox
- Description:
- Fcγ receptors are a family of cell-surface receptors that are expressed by a host of different innate and adaptive immune cells and mediate inflammatory responses by binding the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (IgG). In humans, five low affinity receptors are encoded by the genes FCGR2A, FCGR2B, FCGR2C, FCGR3A and FCGR3B, which are located in a 82.5kb segmental tandem duplication on chromosome 1q23.3, which shows extensive copy number variation (CNV). We identify several alleles with gene conversion events using fosmid sequencing data. See Variant Summary counts for nstd142 in dbVar Variant Summary.
