NCIt definition : Human C1QTNF5 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q23.3 and is approximately
8 kb in length. This allele, which encodes complement C1q tumor necrosis factor-related
protein 5, may play a role in cell adhesion to basement membranes. Mutations in the
gene are associated with late-onset retinal degeneration.;
NCIt note : The C1QTNF5 gene is located within the 3' untranslated region of exon 13 of the MFRP
gene. It can be transcribed as a bicistronic transcript including sequences from the
MFRP gene or as a monocistronic transcript expressed from an internal promoter. (EntrezGene,
OMIM and UniProt);
