Abstract excerpt
AIM: The present study was undertaken to investigate a length polymorphism of (GT)n repeats of the heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX-1) gene and its association with serum bilirubin levels in apparently healthy adults. METHODS: A total of 211 individuals (normal hematology and liver function test) with bilirubin levels of 1.7 to 22.2 μM were studied. The (GT)n repeats were analyzed by PCR and subsequent sizing by capillary...
