NCIt definition : Human PLA2G7 wild-type allele is located within 6p21.2-p12 and is approximately 31
kb in length. This allele, which encodes platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase
protein, plays a role in the modulation of the inflammatory activity of platelet-activating
factor. Mutation of the gene is associated with platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase
deficiency and increased susceptibility to asthma or atopy.;
