NCIt definition : Human ACKR1 wild-type allele is located within 1q21-q22 and is approximately 3 kb
in length. This allele, which encodes atypical chemokine receptor 1 protein, plays
a role in the mediation of cellular interactions with cytokines. Polymorphisms in
the gene are the basis for the Duffy blood group types.;
NCIt note : Ensembl reports the DARC gene in the vicinity of 1q23.2.; Genetic variation of the DARC gene influences resistance to Plasmodium vivax infection.; Genetic variation of the DARC gene may play a role in HIV susceptibility.;
