NCIt definition : Human NUDT1 wild-type allele is located within 7p22 and is approximately 9 kb in length.
This allele, which encodes oxidized purine nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase protein,
is involved in the hydrolysis of 8-oxo-dGTP in the free nucleotide pool. Overexpression
of the NUDT1 gene is associated with several types of cancer such as non-small-cell
lung carcinomas, renal cell carcinomas and prostate cancer.;
