NCIt definition : Human PIGN wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 18q21.33 and is approximately
282 kb in length. This allele, which encodes GPI ethanolamine phosphate transferase
1 protein, is involved in the synthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchors used
in post-translational protein modification. Mutations in the gene are associated with
multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 1.;
