NCIt definition : Human SPOP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q21.33 and is approximately
79 kb in length. This allele, which encodes speckle-type POZ protein, plays a role
in the regulation of protein ubiquitination. Mutation of the gene is associated with
Nabais Sa-de Vries syndrome, types 1 and 2.;
NCIt note : Mutation of the SPOP gene may be associated with prostate cancer. (Nature Genetics,
2012; 44:685-689.);
