NCIt definition : Human SEPT9 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q25.3 and is approximately
219 kb in length. This allele, which encodes septin-9 protein, is involved in the
regulation of microfilament formation. Mutation of the gene is associated with hereditary
neuralgic amyotrophy. A chromosomal translocation t(11;17)(q23;q25) of this gene and
the MLL gene is associated with acute myeloid leukemia.;
