该基因编码的蛋白质属于UPF0606家族在许多毛细胞性星形细胞瘤中，该基因与BRAF癌基因融合。融合结果来自7q34的2mb串联重复。选择性剪接导致多个转录变体[由RefSeq提供，2012年10月]
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the UPF0606 family. This gene has been found to be fused to the BRAF oncogene in many cases of pilocytic astrocytoma. The fusion results from 2Mb tandem duplications at 7q34. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]
