NCIt synonyms : KIAA0444; Chromodomain Helicase DNA Binding Protein 5 wt Allele; DKFZp434N231;
NCIt definition : Human CHD5 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p36.3 and is approximately
78 kb in length. This allele, which encodes chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein
5, is involved in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. Depletion of
the wild-type allele contributes to the pathogenesis of several cancers; including:
neural cancers, melanoma, hematopoietic cancers and several epithelial cancers.;
