NCIt definition : Human DPP6 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7q36.2 and is approximately
1146 kb in length. This allele, which encodes dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-like protein
6, plays a role in the regulation of neuronal excitability mediated by voltage-activated
A-type potassium ion channels. Mutation of the gene is associated with paroxysmal
familial ventricular fibrillation 2 and autosomal dominant intellectual developmental
disorder 33. Polymorphism in this gene may be associated with variable susceptibility
to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.;
