HIST1H2BJ
Headline: Understanding Hist1h2bj: The Gene and Its Role in Health and Disease
Description:
Hist1h2bj is a gene that encodes a protein called histone H2B type 1-J. Histones are proteins that package DNA into chromatin, the material that makes up chromosomes. Hist1h2bj is specifically involved in the formation of the nucleosome, the basic unit of chromatin.
Associated Diseases:
Mutations in the Hist1h2bj gene have been linked to several diseases, including:
- Glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer
- Lung cancer
- Breast cancer
- Leukemia
- Myelodysplastic syndrome
- Lymphoma
Did you Know ?
- Mutations in Hist1h2bj are found in approximately 10% of glioblastoma cases.
