NCIt definition : Human APH1A wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q21.2 and is approximately
4 kb in length. This allele, which encodes gamma-secretase subunit APH-1A protein,
is involved in the stabilization of gamma-secretases complexes. Polymorphisms in the
promoter region of this gene may be associated with an increased risk for sporadic
Alzheimer's disease.;
