Abstract excerpt
The human protocadherin (Pcdh) gene clusters are located on chromosome 5q31. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected in the Pcdh-alpha and -beta variable exons, and in the Pcdh-alpha constant exon, in samples from 104 individuals. Among coding SNPs (cSNPs), nonsynonymous (amino acid exchange) SNPs were 2.2 times more common than synonymous (silent) changes in the Pcdh-alpha variable exons, but only...
