NCIt definition : Human HNF4A wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20q13.12 and is approximately
79 kb in length. This allele, which encodes hepatocyte nuclear factor 4-alpha protein,
is involved in transcriptional regulation of hepatic genes. Mutation of the gene is
associated with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, maturity-onset diabetes of
the young (MODY) 1, and Fanconi renotubular syndrome 4 with MODY.;
NCIt note : Alternative splicing of the HNF4A results in multiple transcript variants encoding
at least 9 different isoforms. (EntrezGene and UniProt);
