NCIt definition : Human PHGDH wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p12 and is approximately
84 kb in length. This allele, which encodes D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase protein,
is involved in both amino acid biosynthesis and oxidoreductase activity. Mutation
of the gene is associated with phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency.;
NCIt note : Recent studies have implicated aberrant expression of this gene and its role in serine
synthesis in breast cancer tumorigenesis. (Nature. 2011; 476: 346-350.);
