nomenclature changes
01/12/2016 Human name has changed for Entrez Gene: 2334. From AF4/FMR2 family, member 2 to AF4/FMR2 family member 2.
3/31/2022 removed synonym "fragile X mental retardation 2"
This follows a request to the NCBI to remove 'retardation' or any 'R' referencing retardation be removed from FMRP and any other terminology linked to fragile x in the gene database(s) as this is outdated and offensive terminology. See: "The Use of “Retardation” in FRAXA, FMRP, FMR1 and Other Designations" : [1].
This article was written on behalf of 17 fragile x family associations calling for the removal of 'retardation' as discriminatory and stigmatic.
