Molecular basis of ESD*5 and ESD*7 and haplotype analysis with new polymorphisms in introns.

Abstract excerpt

The two polymorphic alleles of esterase D (ESD), ESD*5 and ESD*7, are specific to Europeans and Asians, respectively. In this study the molecular basis was characterized: ESD*5, arising from ESD*1, has a G to A transition, resulting in Gly257(GGT) --> Asp(GAT); and ESD*7, originating from ESD*2, has an A to G transition, resulting in Asp231(GAT) --> Gly(GGT). Glycine is also involved in the common ESD*1/ESD*2...
