NCIt definition : Human PFN1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p13.3 and is approximately
3 kb in length. This allele, which encodes profilin-1 protein, is involved in cytoskeleton
regulation. Deletion of the gene may be associated with Miller-Dieker syndrome and
mutation of the gene is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 18.;
NCIt note : The protein encoded by the PFN1 gene interacts with huntingtin protein and may play
a role in Huntington disease.;
