NCIt definition : Human KIAA1549 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7q34 and is approximately
150 kb in length. This allele, which encodes UPF0606 protein KIAA1549, may involved
in the modulation of the activity of the amygdala, the hypothalamus and other brain
regions. Tandem duplication of about 2 Mb at chromosome 7q34 that fuses this gene
and the BRAF gene is associated with pilocytic astrocytoma.;
