19p133

19p133 is a genetic locus on the short arm of chromosome 19, specifically at position 13.3. This locus is of significant interest in the field of genetics due to its association with various genetic disorders and conditions. One of the most well-known genes located at this locus is the MYC gene, which plays a crucial role in cell growth and division. Mutations in the MYC gene have been linked to several types of cancer, including Burkitt lymphoma and neuroblastoma. Additionally, 19p133 is also the site of the MYCN gene, which is involved in the development of neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that primarily affects children. Other genes at this locus include MYCL and MYCL2, which are involved in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. The study of 19p133 and its associated genes is an active area of research, with ongoing efforts to understand their roles in health and disease and to develop potential therapeutic targets.
