Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Retinoic acid (RA) is a critical regulator of gene expression during embryonic development and in the maintenance of adult epithelial tissues. This study was undertaken to identify genetic polymorphisms of CYP26A1 which might affect these processes. We sequenced CYP26A1 in racially diverse individuals and assessed the metabolism of retinoic acid by newly identified coding alleles of CYP26A1 in a...
