NCIt synonyms : ALK6; CDw293; ALK-6; Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor, Type IB wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human BMPR1B wild-type allele is located within 4q22-q24 and is approximately 397
kb in length. This allele, which encodes bone morphogenetic protein receptor type
IB protein, plays a role in the regulation of signaling. Mutations in the gene are
associated with both acromesomelic chondrodysplasia with genital anomalies and brachydactyly
types A2 and C.;
NCIt note : Methylation of the BMPR1B gene may be a factor in the development of some brain tumors.;
