KCNQ1OT1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human KCNQ1OT1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11p15 and is approximately 92 kb in length. This allele, which encodes KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 non-coding RNA, is involved in the regulation of gene transcription through epigenetic modification of DNA. Aberrant expression of the gene is associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.
