NCIt definition : Human IFITM1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11p15.5 and is approximately
1 kb in length. This allele, which encodes interferon-induced transmembrane protein
1 protein, plays a role in the inhibition of cell proliferation and regulation of
cell adhesion signals.;
NCIt note : Elevated IFITM1 gene expression has been shown to be correlated with improved survival
of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.;
