NCIt definition : Human SOX10 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 22q13.1 and is approximately
17 kb in length. This allele, which encodes transcription factor SOX-10 protein, plays
a role in transcriptional activation. Mutation of the gene is associated with Waardenburg
syndrome types 2E and 4C and with peripheral demyelinating neuropathy, central dysmyelinating
leukodystrophy, Waardenburg syndrome, and Hirschsprung disease.;
NCIt note : Overexpression of the SOX10 gene may be associated with congenital nevi and melanoma.
