NCIt definition : Human ADAM9 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 8p11.22 and is approximately
108 kb in length. This allele, which encodes disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing
protein 9, plays a role in the cleavage and solubilzation of many biologically active
membrane-bound proteins. Mutation of the gene is associated with cone-rod dystrophy
type 9.;
