NCIt definition : Human MYD88 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p22 and is approximately
5 kb in length. This allele, which encodes myeloid differentiation primary response
protein MyD88, plays a role in both protein-protein interactions and the regulation
of the expression of proinflammatory genes. Mutation of the gene is associated with
recurrent pyogenic bacterial infections.;
NCIt note : The MYD88 gene may be involved in lung tumor metastasis.;
