Human PDGFRB wild-type allele is located within 5q31-q32 and is approximately 42 kb in length. This allele, which encodes beta platelet-derived growth factor receptor protein, is involved in mitogenesis for cells of mesenchymal origin. A translocation between chromosomes 5 and 12, that fuses this gene to that of the translocation, ETV6, leukemia gene, results in chronic myeloproliferative disorder with eosinophilia.
