Abstract excerpt
A high frequency of nucleotide substitutions -5A/G, -8G/A, -24T/G in the triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) gene promoter has been demonstrated in African-Americans. The biological significance of these promoter variants, two of which, -8G/A and -24T/G, occur within regulatory elements essential for transcription, is controversial. The geographical distribution and frequency of allelic variation in the TPI promoter...
