NCIt definition : Human TRPM7 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 15q21 and is approximately
130 kb in length. This allele, which encodes transient receptor potential cation channel
subfamily M member 7 protein, is involved in the mediation of both protein phosphorylation
and ion transport. Mutation of the gene is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia
complex type 1. A chromosomal rearrangement of this gene and the CYP19A1 gene is associated
with aromatase excess syndrome.;
