Human OPHN1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xq12 and is approximately 392 kb in length. This allele, which encodes oligophrenin-1 protein, is involved in the regulation of small GTPase mediated signal transduction. Mutation of the gene is associated with X-linked mental retardation with cerebellar hypoplasia and distinctive facial dysmorhphism.
