HADH wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human HADH wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 4q25 and is approximately 46 kb in length. This allele, which encodes hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, mitochondrial protein, is involved in the regulation of insulin secretion and the oxidation of short- and medium-chain fatty acids. Mutation of the gene is associated with both 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency and familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 4.
