Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The genes encoding the Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaR) IIIa and IIIb (FCGR3A and FCGR3B) are clustered on chromosome 1 band q23-24 and exhibit allelic polymorphism. We investigated the molecular basis of additional new FCGR3 genomic variation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A segment shared by FCGR3A and FCGR3B containing the polymorphic nucleotide positions 141, 147, 227, 266, and 277 in exon 3...
