CHM wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human CHM wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xq21.2 and is approximately 186 kb in length. This allele, which encodes Rab proteins geranylgeranyltransferase component A 1 protein, plays a role in the regulation of geranylgeranyltransferase activity. Mutations of the gene are associated with choroideremia.
