Genetic variations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus type 9 (SLEB9). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009] Expression Biased expression in lymph node (RPKM 99.4), spleen (RPKM 44.6) and 1 other tissue See more Orthologs mouse all
