NCIt definition : Human PTPN6 wild-type allele is located within 12p13 and is approximately 29 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type
6 protein, is involved in the dephosphorylation of protein-tyrosine phosphates. Aberrant
methylation of the PTPN6 gene results in low expression levels in leukemias and lymphomas.;
