Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in the coding region of the FUT2 locus, which encodes secretor type alpha(1,2)fucosyltransferase. These SNPs are highly population-specific. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: The 1121-bp polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product containing the whole FUT2 coding region in three human populations, Ovambos (n = 74), Turks (n = 70), and Mongolians (n...
