NCIt definition : Human WAPL wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 10q23.2 and is approximately
87 kb in length. This allele, which encodes wings apart-like protein homolog, plays
a role in mitosis, meiosis and DNA replication.;
NCIt note : The WAPL gene may be involved in the development of graft-vs.-host disease. (J Clin
Invest. 2013;123:4739-4754.);
