NCIt synonyms : Ribophorin I wt Allele; Oligosaccharyltransferase 1 Homolog (S. cerevisiae) Gene; OST1; RBPH1; DKFZp686B16177;
NCIt definition : Human RPN1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3q21.3 and is approximately
61 kb in length. This allele, which encodes dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide-protein
glycosyltransferase subunit 1 protein, is involved in the regulation of protein glycosylation.
A chromosomal aberration, either t(3;3)(q21;q26) or inv(3)(q21q26), of this gene and
the MECOM gene is associated with acute myeloid leukemia.;
NCIt note : For both recombination events the pathological consequences may be the result of aberrant
expression of the MECOM gene due to its juxtaposition with the enhancer of the constitutively
expressed RPN1 gene. (Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology);
