HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: CT47A3
Cytogenetic location: Xq24 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:120,972,746-120,976,068 (from NCBI)
Chen et al. (2006) identified 13 tandem copies of the CT47 gene, including CT47A3, on chromosome Xq24.
Using an accession number provided by Strausberg et al. (2002) and assigned to CT47A11 (300592), (GenBank BC029540), Hartz (2009) identified 12 copies of the CT47 gene on chromosome Xq24 (build 36.1). Of these copies, 9 share 100% nucleotide identity, and 3 share over 90.0% nucleotide identity. All contain 3 exons.
See 300592 for further information.
Hartz (2009) mapped the duplications of the CT47 gene to chromosome Xq24 based on alignment of a sequence containing CT47A11 (GenBank AB097024) with the genomic sequence (build 36.1).
