Abstract excerpt
A region 2 kb upstream of exon 1 of the P2X7 gene was sequenced using DNA from nine healthy individuals who exhibited three different ATP response phenotypes (i.e. high, low and interferon gamma-inducible). Five single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified within the nine donor promoter sequences but none were associated with a specific ATP response phenotype. A P2X7 loss of function polymorphism (1513 in exon...
