{"symbol":"VCX2","synonyms":["VCX2R","VCX-2R","VCXB"],"name":"variable charge, X-linked 2","description":"This gene belongs to the VCX/Y gene family, which has multiple members on both X and Y chromosomes that are expressed exclusively in male germ cells. The VCX gene cluster is polymorphic in terms of copy number; different individuals may have a different number of VCX genes. This gene contains two copies of a 30 nt tandem repeat. Deletion of a nearby member of this family was implicated in cognitive disability.
