PubMed (8128316): Hara T, Yamauchi M, Takahashi E, Hoshino M, Aoki K, Ayusawa D, Kawakita M. The UDP-galactose translocator gene is mapped to band Xp11.23-p11.22 containingthe Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome locus.Somat Cell Mol Genet. 1993 Nov;19(6):571-5. PMID: 8128316 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

We have cloned a segment of the human gene encoding UDP-galactose translocator by genetic complementation of its defective mutant in mouse FM3A cells. Chromosome mapping using fluorescent in situ hybridization revealed that the cloned gene hybridized to the Xp11.23-11.23 region of the X chromosome. This region is shared by the locus of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, an X-linked recessive immunodeficiency disorder, characterized by defective sugar chains on cell surface components. Genetic and phenotypic similarities suggest a possible link between UDP-galactose translocator and the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS).
