NCIt definition : Human NR0B1 wild-type allele is located within Xp21.3-p21.2 and is approximately 5
kb in length. This allele, which encodes nuclear receptor subfamily 0 group B member
1 protein, is involved in the regulation of both transcription and receptor-mediated
signal transduction. Mutations in the gene are associated with both X-linked congenital
adrenal hypoplasia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. A duplication part of the short
arm of the X chromosome, which contains this gene, in XY individuals is linked to
dosage-sensitive sex reversal.;
