NCIt definition : Human UQCRC1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p21.31 and is approximately
12 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cytochrome b-c1 complex subunit 1, mitochondrial
protein, plays a role in oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial-processing peptidase
activity. Mutations in the gene are associated with parkinsonism with polyneuropathy.;
