This gene was identified by its similarity to the ST7 tumor suppressor gene found in the chromosome 7q31 region. This gene is clustered in a tail-to-tail manner with the WNT2B gene in a chromosomal region known to be deleted and rearranged in a variety of cancers. Several transcript variants encoding many different isoforms have been described, but some have not been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011].
