This ribonuclease gene is a novel member of the Rh/T2/S-glycoprotein class of extracellular ribonucleases. It is a single copy gene that maps to 6q27, a region associated with human malignancies and chromosomal rearrangement.[6]RNASET2 has been reported as a tumour associated antigen in anaplastic large cell lymphoma and other lymphomas.[7]
