Abstract excerpt
The alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit (CHRNA7) gene harbors a high degree of polymorphism. In this study, we found a novel variant (1267 G to A) in exon 10 of the CHRNA7 gene in a Japanese population. This variant results in glycine-to-serine substitution at position 423 (G423S) located in the large cytoplasmic loop of the protein. To clarify the possibility that the G423S mutation alters the...
