Abstract excerpt
Analysis of the detailed genomic structure of human N-cadherin revealed that the 16-exon gene is more than 72 kb in length and that it consists of a mosaic of exons. Five repeated cadherin domains, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain are encoded by exons 4 to 13, 13 and 14, and 14 to 16, respectively. A search for molecular variants in the entire coding region in 96 Japanese individuals resulted in...
