NCIt definition : Human FOXP1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p14.1 and is approximately
629 kb in length. This allele, which encodes forkhead box protein P1, plays a role
in the negative regulation of transcription. Mutation of the gene is associated with
mental retardation with language impairment and autistic features. A translocation
t(9;3)(p13;p14.1) of this gene with the PAX5 gene is associated with acute lymphoblastic
leukemia.;
