該基因是良性甲狀腺腺瘤2p21染色體畸變的靶點。該基因單核苷酸多態性（snps）可能與2型糖尿病和多囊卵巢綜合征有關。編碼蛋白可能參與死亡受體途徑和細胞凋亡。
This gene is the target of 2p21 choromosomal aberrations in benign thyroid adenomas. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this gene may be associated with type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome. The encoded protein is likely involved in the death receptor pathway and apoptosis.
