NCIt synonyms : RP1-18D14.8; MCPH7; STIL Centriolar Assembly Protein wt Allele; SIL; SCL/TAL1 Interrupting Locus Gene; SCL-Interrupting Locus Gene; SCL/TAL1-Interrupting Locus Gene; TAL1 (SCL) Interrupting Locus Gene;
NCIt definition : Human STIL wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p32 and is approximately
64 kb in length. This allele, which encodes SCL-interrupting locus protein, is involved
in signaling that promotes cellular proliferation and modulates embryonic development.
A chromosomal deletion at 1p32 between this gene and the TAL1 gene is associated with
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Mutation of the gene is associated with microcephaly
primary type 7.;
