NCIt synonyms : KIAA0609; MDDGB6; MDDGA6; Acetylglucosaminyltransferase-Like Protein Gene; LARGE; LARGE Xylosyl- and Glucuronyltransferase 1 wt Allele; MDC1D; Like-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase Gene; Glycosyltransferase-Like Protein LARGE1 Gene; EIEE36; Like-Glycosyltransferase Gene;
NCIt definition : Human LARGE1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 22q12.3 and is approximately
856 kb in length. This allele, which encodes xylosyl- and glucuronyltransferase LARGE1
protein, is involved in the maturation of alpha-dystroglycan and protein glycosylation.
Mutation of the gene is associated with muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy congenital
with brain and eye anomalies A6 (MDDGA6) and muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy
congenital with impaired intellectual development B6 (MDDGB6).;
