NCIt definition : Human GABRA1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q34 and is approximately
53 kb in length. This allele, which encodes gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit
alpha-1 protein, plays a role in binding to gamma-aminobutyric acid and transmembrane
calcium transport. Mutation of the gene is associated with developmental and epileptic
encephalopathy 19, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy 5 and childhood absence epilepsy type
4.;
