NCIt definition : Human PDGFB wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 22q13.1 and is approximately
22 kb in length. This allele, which encodes platelet-derived growth factor subunit
B protein, is involved in mitogenesis for mesenchymal cells. Mutations in the gene
produce allelic variants that are associated with meningioma.;
NCIt note : Reciprocal t(17;22)(q22;q13) translocations with COL1A1 result in unregulated growth
factor expression and are associated with DFSP.;
