Intronic U50 small‐nucleolar‐RNA (snoRNA) host gene of no protein‐coding potential is mapped at the chromosome breakpoint t(3;6)(q27;q15) of human B‐cell lymphoma

Abstract

U50HG is a member of the nonprotein-coding multiple snoRNA host gene family, as well as of the 5'TOP gene family similar to UHG (U22 host gene), U17HG (U17 host gene), U19HG (U19 host gene) and gas5 (growth arrest-specific transcript 5 gene). It is novel to find that the snoRNA gene is located at the breakpoint of chromosomal translocation t(3;6)(q27;q15) involved in human B-cell lymphoma.
