Description

  • The human TRB locus at 7q35 spans 620 kb. It consists of 64-67 TRBV genes belonging to 32 subgroups.
  • Except for TRBV30, localized downstream of the TRBC2 gene, in inverted orientation of transcription, all the other TRBV genes are located upstream of a duplicated D-J-C-cluster, which comprises, for the first part one TRBD, six TRBJ, and the TRBC1 gene, and for the second part, one TRBD, eight TRBJ, and the TRBC2 gene.
  • The most 5 TRBV genes occupy the most centromeric position, whereas the TRBV30 gene, 3 of the locus, is the most telomeric gene in the TRB locus.
  • The potentiel repertoire consists of 39-46 functional TRBV genes belonging to 21-23 subgroups, the two TRBD, thirteen TRBJ (6 from the first cluster and 7 from the second cluster), and the two TRBC genes.
  • Six TRBV orphons have been localized on chromosome 9 at 9p21. Enhancer sequences have been characterized 5.5kb 3 from TRBC2.
  • List of the human TRB genes
  • Mutations

    Note

    Mutations which correspond to allelic polymorphisms of the functional germline TRBV, TRBD, TRBJ and TRBC genes are described in the IMGT database: (IMGT Repertoire>Alignments of alleles)
