NCIt definition : Human PRDM16 wild-type allele is located within 1p36.23-p33 and is approximately 369
kb in length. This allele, which encodes histone-lysine N-methyltransferase PRDM16
protein, is involved in the modulation of both fat cell differentiation and gene transcription.
A reciprocal translocation t(1;3)(p36;q21) of the gene and the RPN1 gene is associated
with myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia.;
