NCIt definition : Human MTHFD1L wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6q25.1 and is approximately
236 kb in length. This allele, which encodes monofunctional C1-tetrahydrofolate synthase,
mitochondrial protein, plays a role in the modulation of mitochondrial folate metabolism.
Genetic variation may be associated with Alzheimer disease.;
NCIt note : The MTHFD1L gene and gene product may participate in the progression of colorectal
cancer by conferring growth advantage; and therefore could be a new molecular target
for cancer therapy. (UniProt);
