NCIt definition : Human FKRP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19q13.32 and is approximately
32 kb in length. This allele, which encodes ribitol 5-phosphate transferase FKRP,
is involved in the transfer of ribitol-phosphate certain glycoproteins. Mutations
in the gene are associated with FKRP-related congenital muscular dystrophy, Walker-Warburg
