NCIt definition : Human GLRA1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q33.1 and is approximately
102 kb in length. This allele, which encodes glycine receptor subunit alpha-1 protein,
plays a role in glycine binding and inhibition of the associated neurotransmission
pathways. Mutations in the gene are associated with hyperekplexia 1 (startle disease,
stiff-person syndrome).;
