NCIt definition : Human PTPRO wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12p12.3 and is approximately
276 kb in length. This allele, which encodes receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase
O protein, plays a role in both glomerulus development and protein tyrosine phosphatase
activity. Mutation of the gene may be associated with nephrotic syndrome.;
