Abstract excerpt
The PAX-6 gene is a member of the paired-box-containing (PAX) gene family, encoding a transcriptional activator, that plays an important role in the development of the central nervous system. The present association study tested the hypothesis that length variation of a novel regulatory dinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the promoter region of the PAX-6 gene (PAX-6 gene-linked polymorphic region, PAX-6LPR)...
