NCIt definition : Human PDE8B wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q13.3 and is approximately
219 kb in length. This allele, which encodes high affinity cAMP-specific and IBMX-insensitive
3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 8B protein, is involved in second messenger metabolism.
Mutation of the gene is associated with both autosomal dominant striatal degeneration
and primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease 3.;
NCIt note : There is a report of a chromosomal aberration involving the GMDS gene and the PDE8B
gene, which is associated with breast cancer. (COSMIC);
