This gene belongs to a family of complement factor H-related genes (CFHR), which are clustered together with complement factor H gene on chromosome 1, and are involved in regulation of complement. Mutations in CFHR genes have been associated with dense deposit disease and atypical haemolytic-uraemic syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

A study in human liver tissues demonstrated that the CFHR2 is a gene biomarker used for liver tissue identification via targeted RNA massively parallel sequencing [Javan et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-020-63727-9]. In a prototype MPS assay designed to identify ten human organ/tissue types, the CFHR2 was expressed in liver tissue with an average read count of 21,586, confirming its specificity as part of a 46-plex mRNA profiling panel for forensic tissue source determination [Hanson & Ballantyne DOI:10.3390/genes8110319].
