Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - The DQA2 gene is located on chromosome 15q21.1. - It is a member of the HLA class II histocompatibility complex. - It is expressed in high levels in cells that are presenting antigens to T cells. - It is a key regulator of the adaptive immune response. **Pathways and functions:** - DQA2 is expressed in high levels on the surface of T-helper 17 cells and other immune cells that are presenting antigens to T cells. - It is a key regulator of the immune response to viral infection. - It is also involved in the regulation of inflammation and autoimmune disorders. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in the DQA2 gene have been linked to an increased risk of autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. - DQA2 is a potential target for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. - It is currently being investigated as a vaccine for cancer.
