EXOSC2 encodes exosome component 2 (293 aa). Non-catalytic component of the RNA exosome complex which has 3'->5' exoribonuclease activity and participates in a multitude of cellular RNA processing and degradation events. Highest expression in Cells EBV-transformed lymphocytes (30.9 TPM) and Cells Cultured fibroblasts (25.4 TPM).
Retinitis pigmentosa-hearing loss-premature aging-short stature-facial dysmorphism syndrome is associated with mutations in the EXOSC2 gene on chromosome 9.
EXOSC2 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for EXOSC2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 12 always present features, 27 common features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for retinitis pigmentosa-hearing loss-premature aging-short stature-facial dysmorphism syndrome.
