Abstract excerpt
The CST2 locus has two polymorphic alleles, CST2*1 and CST2*2, which produce cystatin proteins SAI and SA2, respectively (Shintani et al., 1994). The purpose of this study was to define nucleotide sequence variations of the protein-coding region of the two alleles. The variations were investigated by direct sequencing of amplified DNA from individuals with different CST2 phenotypes. The sequence of three exons...
