FRG2

Chr 4

FSHD region gene 2

Also known as: FRG2A

The FRG2 protein is predicted to be located in the nucleus, but its specific function remains unknown. Mutations in FRG2 have not been definitively associated with any recognized human disease or clinical phenotype. The gene shows relatively low constraint against loss-of-function variants based on population genetics data.
