NCIt definition : Human PTPN11 wild-type allele is located within 12q24 and is approximately 91 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type
11 protein, is involved in the dephosphorylation of protein-tyrosine phosphates. The
PTPN11 gene is associated with severe congenital neutropenia as well as several forms
of leukemia.;
