Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neutrophil cytosolic factor-1 (NCF1) is a component of NADPH oxidase. The NCF1 gene colocalizes with two pseudogenes (NCF1B and NCF1C). These two pseudogenes have a GT deletion in exon 2, resulting in a frameshift and an early stop codon. Here, we report a copy number variation (CNV) of the NCF1 pseudogenes and their alternative spliced expressions. RESULTS: We examined three normal populations (86...
