Abstract excerpt
Direct sequencing of the human cyclooxygenase-2 gene promoter revealed a common single nucleotide substitution, cyclooxygenase-2-765G-->C, in 24.5% of the populations analyzed. This change introduced a 20 base pair polypyrimidine/polypurine element and a partial recognition feature for RXRalpha, the 9-cis retinoic acid receptor, into the polymorphic promoter. Cyclooxygenase-2-765G-->C constructs, when transfected...
