Abstract excerpt
An association between exon 3 polymorphisms of the gene encoding microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) and susceptibility to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been described. We have developed two methods for detecting polymorphisms at exons 3 (Tyr113-->His) and 4 (His139-->Arg) of the mEH gene based on different melting temperatures (T(m)) of fluorescent-labeled oligonucleotide...
