NCIt definition : Human PDE4D wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q12 and is approximately
1553 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cAMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase
4D protein, plays a role in the modulation of second messenger signaling. Mutation
of the gene is associated with acrodysostosis 2 and increased susceptibility to stroke.;
NCIt note : Deletion mutations in the PDE4D gene may be associated with both lung adenocarcinoma
and squamous cell lung carcinomas. (Nature Genetics. 2016; 48:607-616);
