NCIt definition : Human NF1 wild type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p11.2 and is approximately
279 kb in length. This allele, which encodes neurofibromin protein, may be involved
in the attenuation of Ras signal pathway. Mutations in this allele are associated
with type I neurofibromatosis, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and Watson syndrome.;
NCIt note : The NF1 gene encodes four alternative transcripts for different protein isoforms with
three transcripts that are differential expressed.;
