NCIt definition : Human DNAJB6 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7q36.3 and is approximately
82 kb in length. This allele, which encodes DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 6 protein,
plays a role in the regulation of protein folding and aggregation. Mutation of the
gene is associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1E.;
NCIt note : A fusion involving the DNAJB6 and SHH gene leading to the expression of a truncated
SHH gene product may be associated with medulloblastoma. (Nature. 2012; 488:100-105.);
