NCIt definition : Human WNK1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12p13.3 and is approximately
159 kb in length. This allele, which encodes serine/threonine-protein kinase WNK1
protein, is involved in regulation of blood pressure by controlling the transport
of both sodium and chloride ions. Mutations in this gene are associated with both
pseudohypoaldosteronism type II and hereditary sensory neuropathy type II.;
