NCIt definition : Human ASXL1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20q11 and is approximately
81 kb in length. This allele, which encodes putative Polycomb group protein ASXL1,
may play a role in the regulation of both chromatin structure and transcription. Mutation
of the gene is associated with both myelodysplastic syndromes and chronic myelomonocytic
leukemia.;
