NCIt definition : Human HAVCR1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q33.2 and is approximately
30 kb in length. This allele, which encodes hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1
protein, plays a role in asthma, allergic reactions, hepatitis A binding and T-helper
cell development. Polymorphism of the gene can modulate susceptibility to both hepatitis
A infection and atopy.;
