Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis mediated by the Apo-1/Fas and Fas ligand pathways has been implicated in many disorders, including autoimmunity and tumorigenesis. The recent identification of two polymorphisms on the 5' flanking region of the human Apo-1/Fas gene has provided useful markers for investigation of the genetic contribution of the Apo-1/Fas gene in these diseases. The Mval polymorphism at the -670 nucleotide position is...
