DHX9 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human DHX9 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1q25.3 and is approximately 49 kb in length. This allele, which encodes ATP-dependent RNA helicase A protein, plays a role in DNA and RNA helicase activity, transcriptional coactivation, DNA replication, alternative splicing of select genes, mRNA translation and responses to viral double-stranded RNA. Mutations in the gene are associated with autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 75.
