GARS1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human GARS1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7p14.3 and is approximately 39 kb in length. This allele, which encodes glycine-tRNA ligase protein, is involved in the synthesis of glycyl-tRNA. Mutation of the gene is associated with type 2D Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and distal hereditary motor neuropathy, type Va.
