NCIt definition : Human HSPG2 wild-type allele is located within 1p36.1-p34 and is approximately 115
kb in length. This allele, which encodes basement membrane-specific heparan sulfate
proteoglycan core protein, plays a role in both the structure of and cell interaction
with the basement membrane. Mutation of the gene is associated with both Schwartz-Jampel
syndrome and Silverman-Handmaker type dyssegmental dysplasia.;
NCIt note : Ensembl reports the HSPG2 gene is located in the vicinity of 1p36.12 and HGNC reports
it within 1p36.1-p35.;
