The compilation of older studies can be retrieved from the Red Blood Cell Collection database.
The data and differentiation stages presented below come from the proteomic study and analysis performed by our partners of the GReX consortium, more details are available in their published work.
The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 603896
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) can be caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in any of the 5 genes encoding subunits of the translation initiation factor EIF2B: EIF2B1 (606686) on chromosome 12q24, EIF2B2 (606454) on chromosome 14q24, EIF2B3 (606273) on chromosome 1p34, EIF2B4 (606687) on chromosome 2p23, or EIF2B5 (603945) on chromosome 3q27.
