Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A C825T polymorphism was recently identified in the human gene encoding for the beta(3)-subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins. The 825T allele is associated with a splice variant of Gbeta(3) and enhanced signal transduction. We hypothesized that patients carrying the 825T allele exhibit the modified Gbeta(3) phenotype. The resulting enhancement of signal transduction should be detectable in the...
