Abstract excerpt
A thymine-cytosine substitution was identified in exon 3 (codon 76, TAT to TAC) of the human follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) beta-subunit gene. The nucleotide change led to creation of an AccI digestion site. The frequencies of the A allele (with AccI site) in Chinese (n = 201), Malays (n = 168) and Indians (n = 132) were 0.358, 0.333 and 0.402, respectively. The new FSH beta-subunit marker may be useful in...
