Background
|
MAGEA3 is a member of the MAGEA family. The members of this family have 50 to 80?% sequence identity to each other. The promoters and first exons of the MAGEA genes show considerable variability, suggesting that the existence of this gene family enables the same function to be expressed under different transcriptional controls. The MAGEA genes are clustered at chromosomal location Xq28. They have been implicated in some hereditary disorders, such as dyskeratosis congenita.This gene is a member of the MAGEA gene family.
