NCIt definition : Human SEPTIN5 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 22q11.21 and is approximately
10 kb in length. This allele, which encodes septin-5 protein, is involved in cytokinesis.
A chromosomal translocation t(11;22)(q23;q11.2) of this gene and the MLL gene is associated
with acute myeloid leukemia.;
NCIt note : The presence of a non-consensus polyA signal (AACAAT) in the SEPT5 gene also results
in read-through transcription into the downstream neighboring gene (GP1BB), causing
the synthesis of larger, non-coding transcripts. (EntrezGene);
