Transcription Elongation Factor A N-Terminal And Central Domain Containing Protein 2 (TCEANC2)

Chromosome 1 is the largest human chromosome, spanning about 260 million base pairs and making up 8% of the human genome. The mechanism of rapidly enhanced aging is unclear and is a topic of continuing exploration. The MUTYH gene is located on chromosome 1 and is partially responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis. Stickler syndrome, Parkinson’s, Gaucher’s disease and Usher syndrome are also associated with chromosome 1. A breakpoint has been identified in 1q which disrupts the DISC1 gene and is linked to schizophrenia. Aberrations in chromosome 1 are found in a variety of cancers including head and neck cancer, malignant melanoma and multiple myeloma. The C1orf83 gene product has been provisionally designated C1orf83 pending further characterization.
