LFNG wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human LFNG wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7p22.3 and is approximately 17 kb in length. This allele, which encodes beta-1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase lunatic fringe protein, plays a role in protein fucosylation and embryonic somite segmentation and patterning. Loss of function mutations in the gene are associated with autosomal recessive spondylocostal dysostosis 3.
