A polymorphic GT repeat from the human cardiac Na+Ca2+ exchanger intron 2 activates splicing
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
The sequence analysis of the human intron 2 from the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 (NCX1) gene has revealed a GT repeat of variable length (10-16). The 5' sequence of intron 2 exhibited significant homology (65-70%) with other minisatellite sequences. DNA segments at the 5' end of intron 2 were inserted in the NCX1 cDNA (3.7 kb) to reconstruct the exon 2/intron 2 junction. Transient expression of these constructs in...
