NCIt definition : Human PLEKHG5 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p36.31 and is approximately
54 kb in length. This allele, which encodes pleckstrin homology domain-containing
family G member 5 protein, is involved in the regulation of nuclear factor kappa B
and transforming protein RhoA signaling pathways. Mutation of the gene is associated
with recessive intermediate Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type C and autosomal recessive
distal spinal muscular atrophy.;
