While the MAGEA and MAGEB genes are silent in normal tissues with the exception of testis and placenta, the MAGED genes are expressed ubiquitously.

This gene is located in Xp11.2, a hot spot for X-linked mental retardation (XLMR).

Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, however, the full length nature of some variants has not been defined.
