NCIt definition : Human PTPRC wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q31-q32 and is approximately
118 kb in length. This allele, which encodes receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase
C protein, plays a role in T-cell activation through the antigen receptor. Defects
in the PTPRC gene are a cause of autosomal recessive severe combined immunodeficiency
(SCID).;
