SNHG5 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SNHG5 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6q14.3 and is approximately 18 kb in length. This allele, which encodes long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 44, is involved in the synthesis of small nucleolar RNAs U50 and U50'. Translocation t(3;6)(q27;q15) involving the SNHG5 and BCL6 genes is associated with B-cell lymphoma.
