Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence has denied genetic abnormality as a mechanism of the C5 variant of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and proposed the binding of an unknown protein with the C4 component. The present study aimed to evaluate whether the coding sequences and non-translated sequences of the BChE gene at exons 1 to 4, 3q are structurally different in subjects having elevated BChE with and without the C5 variant phenotype....
