Abstract excerpt
Interferon gamma (IFNG) plays important roles in the regulation of bone remodelling. We describe here six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IFNG gene, five of which are novel, and their allelic frequencies in the Japanese population, as determined by sequencing 48 alleles of the entire gene. Four of these polymorphisms were identified inside the third intron, at nucleotide (nt) positions 2459 (A/G),...
