NCIt definition : Human FZD9 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7q11.23 and is approximately
2 kb in length. This allele, which encodes frizzled-9 protein, plays a role in Wnt
signal transduction and may be involved in tissue polarity and development. Heterozygous
deletion of the FZD9 gene may contribute to the Williams syndrome phenotype.;
NCIt note : The FZD9 gene was first described as FZD3 in the literature.;
