The NOD2 gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays an important role in immune system function. The NOD2 protein is active in some types of immune system cells (including monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells), which help protect the body against foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria.rohn disease-increased risk from variations of the NOD2 gene. Approximately 40 variations in the NOD2 gene have been associated with an increased risk of Crohn disease, a complex disorder of the digestive system.
potassium voltage-gated channel, Isk-related family, member 2. KCNE2 (NM_172201.1) encodes a voltage gated potassium channel protein (also called MiRP1) that assembles with the KCNH2 pore-forming protein (also called HERG) to alter its function.The KCNE2 gene contains 2 exons (1 coding exon) and is located at 21q22.Loss of function mutations in KCNE2 account for approximately 1% of all individuals with Romano-Ward syndrome, an autosomal dominant form of long QT syndrome (LQTS) (Splawski et al. 2000.he KCNE2 gene contains 2 exons (1 coding exon) and is located at 21q22.
