NCIt definition : Human BHLHE41 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12p12.1 and is approximately
5 kb in length. This allele, which encodes class E basic helix-loop-helix protein
41, is involved in the regulation of circadian rhythms. Mutations in the gene are
associated with the familial short sleep phenotype.;
