This article appears to reference a gene that does not exist. Although a gene referred to as ST8 was initially identified, records referring to it have been discontinued and replaced in reliable databases. See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/6765. As far as I can make out, the page was automatically created by a bot, followed by someone going through and adding unrelated information from articles referencing other genes. For example, the article references Am J Hum Genet. 1994 Jul;55(1):143-9, (PMID: 8023842) however, this journal article refers to the IFNA gene, which is on a completely different chromosome. I have been unable to identify reliable sources on pubmed referring to this gene. Unless someone else can find anything confirming its existence, I believe this article should be deleted as Unverifiable. Jared BioE (talk) 22:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
