Abstract excerpt
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) binds xenobiotic chemicals such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and regulates transcription of the P4501 subfamily that metabolizes many carcinogens. In humans, the most frequent polymorphism is R554L. We report here an additional two polymorphisms in AHR that show apparent linkage disequilibrium with the codon 554 polymorphism: the first is a previously described...
