NCIt definition : Human VPS13C wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 15q22.2 and is approximately
208 kb in length. This allele, which encodes intermembrane lipid transfer protein
VPS13C, is involved in mitochondrial maintenance and the transfer of lipids among
organelle membranes. Mutations in the gene are associated with autosomal recessive
early-onset Parkinson disease 23.;
