NHEJ1 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
NHEJ1 
Aliases
Cernunnos; FLJ12610; XLF 
Common name
non-homologous end joining factor 1 
Entrez Id
79840
Description
Double-strand breaks in DNA result from genotoxic stresses and are among the most damaging of DNA lesions. This gene encodes a DNA repair factor essential for the nonhomologous end-joining pathway, which preferentially mediates repair of double-stranded breaks. Mutations in this gene cause different kinds of severe combined immunodeficiency disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
