Human DNA sequence variation in a 6.6-kb region containing the melanocortin 1 receptor promoter.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2001

Makova K D, Ramsay M, Jenkins T, Li W H

Abstract excerpt

An approximately 6.6-kb region located upstream from the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene and containing its promoter was sequenced in 54 humans (18 Africans, 18 Asians, and 18 Europeans) and in one chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan. Seventy-six polymorphic sites were found among the human sequences and the average nucleotide diversity (pi) was 0.141%, one of the highest among all studies of nuclear sequence...
