NCIt synonyms : Armadillo Repeat Gene Deleted in Velocardiofacial Syndrome Gene; FLJ35345; Armadillo Repeat Gene Deleted in VCFS; ARVCF Delta Catenin Family Member wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human ARVCF wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 22q11.21 and is approximately
47 kb in length. This allele, which encodes splicing regulator ARVCF protein, plays
a role in mRNA splicing and cell-cell adhesion. Mutation of the gene is associated
with velo-cardio-facial syndrome.;
NCIt note : A SNP for the ARVCF gene may be a prognostic marker for prostate cancer. (Cancer Epidemiol
Biomarkers Prev. 2011; 20: 1928-1936.);
