SLC9A9 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SLC9A9 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3q24 and is approximately 583 kb in length. This allele, which encodes sodium/hydrogen exchanger 9 protein, plays a role in the regulation of ion exchange in the Golgi. Mutations in the gene are associated with autism susceptibility 16 and a pericentric inversion of inv(3)(p14;q21), which disrupts the gene, is associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
