NCIt definition : Human OFD1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xp22 and is approximately
35 kb in length. This allele, which encodes oral-facial-digital syndrome 1, may be
involved in the mediation of embryonic development. Mutations in the gene are associated
with both oral-facial-digital syndrome type I and Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type
2.;
NCIt note : Several OFD1 pseudogenes are in the human genome, one is located on chromosome 5 and
at least sixteen have been found in a cluster on the Y chromosome in the vicinity
of Yp11. (Entrez Gene and HUGO);
