In this task, you are given a sentence. You are expected to recognize the name of gene or protein. Although there might be several correct answers, you need to write one of them.
One example is below.
Q: Sox - 4 is important for very early B - cell differentiation , while TCF - 1 / LEF - 1 play a crucial role in early thymocyte development
A: TCF - 1
Rationale: The gene, TCF - 1 has been tagged as protein since it plays a crucial role in early thymocyte development.
Q: Although they are similar to the IL9R gene ( approximately 90 % identity ) , none of these copies encodes a functional receptor : none of them contains sequences homologous to the 5 ' flanking region or exon 1 of the IL9R gene , and the remaining ORFs have been inactivated by various point mutations and deletions .
A:
IL9R gene
