Abstract excerpt
Previously, we discovered single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy in selectin genes, which were 712C>T(P238S) in L selectin, -642A>G in the promoter region of L selectin, and 1402C>T(H468Y) in E selectin. Interestingly, these SNPs were in nearly complete linkage disequilibrium, thus two haplotypes, disease-associated TGT and wild-type (Wt) CAC, were constructed....
