Summary: This region is known to undergo non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) with another recombination region, the NF1-REPa PRS1 recombination region, which is located a little over 1.4 Mb centromere-proximal to this region. NAHR between the NF1-REPa PRS1 and the NF1-REPc PRS1 recombination regions can result in deletions of the intervening sequences, including the neurofibromin 1 (NF1) gene. This region is part of a larger low-copy repeat region, NF1-REPc, which contains multiple distinct recombination regions, NF1-REPc PRS1, PRS2 and PRS3. Low-copy repeats sharing high sequence identity have also been observed in a more distal location on chromosome 17 (NF1REP-D) and on chromosome 19 (NF1REP-E19). The 1.4 Mb deletion that can occur as a result of recombination between the NF1-REPa and NF1-REPc recombination regions has been observed in about 5-22% of individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1, an autosomal dominant disorder. Those individuals with the neurofibromin 1 microdeletion caused by NAHR have early age onset and are at higher risk for development of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) than individuals with intragenic neurofibromin 1 mutations. The recombination region represented here contains multiple sub-regions, representing different strand exchange regions (SERs), named SER1'-SER11'. A majority of NAHR events occur in the SER4'-7' sub-regions. Population data studies indicate that there are meiotic recombination hotspots in the region, and PRDM9 A and PRDM9 C binding motifs are found in this region. Most NAHR events are of maternal origin.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
