NCIt synonyms : Nonimprinted Gene In Prader-Willi Syndrome/Angelman Syndrome Chromosome Region 1 Gene; MGC35570; FSP3; MGC102724; SPG6; Spastic Paraplegia 6 (Autosomal Dominant) Gene; NIPA Magnesium Transporter 1 wt Allele; SLC57A1; Non Imprinted In Prader-Willi/Angelman Syndrome 1 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human NIPA1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 15q11.2 and is approximately
43 kb in length. This allele, which encodes non-imprinted in magnesium transporter
NIPA1 protein, may play a role in nervous system development. Mutations in the gene
are associated with autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 6.;
NCIt note : The NIPA1 gene lies in between breakpoint hotspots BP1 and BP2 of the Prader-Willi/Angelman
syndromes deletion region on chromosome 15. (OMIM);
