Abstract excerpt
The NOTCH4 gene, located within the MHC region, is involved in cellular differentiation and has varying effects dependent on tissue type. Coding region polymorphisms haplotypic of the sIBM-associated 8.1 ancestral haplotype were identified in NOTCH4 and genotyped in two different Caucasian sIBM cohorts. In both cohorts the frequency of the minor allele of rs422951 and the 12-repeat variation for rs72555375 was...
