NCIt definition : Human CYP3A5*6 allele is located in the vicinity of 7q21.1 and is approximately 32
kb in length. This allele, a variant form of the human CYP3A5 wild-type allele, encodes
cytochrome P450 3A5*6 protein. The CYP3A5*6 allele exhibits a clinically-relevant
SNP (g.14690G A), resulting in deletion of exon 7 from the splice variant, a frame
shift and premature stop at 184 amino acids. Truncation of the cytochrome P450 3A5*6
protein causes complete loss of enzymatic activity.;
