Abstract excerpt
We screened for variation in the 12 protocadherin gamma A (PCDHGA) genes of the protocadherin cluster on chromosome 5q31. We used denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography followed by sequencing to identify changes in the DNA sequence. We identified 24 nonsynonymous changes, 24 synonymous SNPs, and 9 polymorphisms in the 5' flanking regions. The variant with the greatest predicted impact on the encoded...
