NCIt definition : Human TOR1AIP1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q25.2 and is approximately
38 kb in length. This allele, which encodes torsin-1A-interacting protein 1, plays
a role in the organization and maintenance of nuclear membranes. Mutation of the gene
is associated with myopathy, autosomal recessive, with rigid spine and distal joint
contractures (limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2Y).;
