NP wt Allele Definition

Human NP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 14q13.1 and is approximately 8 kb in length. This allele, which encodes purine nucleoside phosphorylase protein, plays a role in the release of a purine from a purine nucleoside. Certain allelic variants of the NP gene cause nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency, resulting in severe T-cell immunodeficiency with neurologic disorder in children.
