NCIt synonyms : GC79; MGC134928; Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome I wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human TRPS1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 8q24.12 and is approximately
261 kb in length. This allele, which encodes zinc finger transcription factor Trps1
protein, plays a role in regulation of bone and hair development. Mutations in this
gene are associated with Type 1 trichorhinophalangeal syndrome.;
NCIt note : The trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type II, or Langer-Giedion syndrome, is a contiguous
gene syndrome due to loss of functional copies of both the TRPS1 and EXT1 genes. (Hum
Mol Genet. 1995; 4: 31-6.);
