Abstract excerpt
A single-nucleotide polymorphism (C825T) in the GNB3 gene produces an alternative splice variant of the heterotrimeric G protein beta3 subunit (Gbeta3). Translation of the alternatively spliced mRNA results in a protein product, Gbeta3-s, in which 41 amino acids are deleted from Gbeta3. Interestingly, previous studies indicate that the C825T allele occurs with a high frequency in patients with certain vascular...
