ADARB2 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human ADARB2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 10p15.3 and is approximately 560 kb in length. This allele, which encodes double-stranded RNA-specific editase B2 protein, is involved in the regulation of RNA editing by other adenosine deaminases. Point mutations in this gene may be associated with childhood B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
