NCIt definition : Human DDX6 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q23.3 and is approximately
41 kb in length. This allele, which encodes probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX6
protein, plays a putative role in mRNA decapping during the process of mRNA degradation.
The DDX6 gene is associated with several types of cancer including B-cell lymphomas
and colorectal adenocarcinomas.;
