Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: In a recent linkage analysis of genome-wide gene-expression patterns in lymphoblastoid lines, the gene encoding the leukocyte-derived arginine aminopeptidase (LRAP) was identified as having its expression levels modulated by one of the most pronounced effects in cis, mapping to a single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs2762). As this enzyme has an important role in processing antigenic peptides for the...
