Abstract excerpt
Previously, we reported five common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), -624G>C, -396G>A, -358A>C, -341C>G, and -294T>C, and six common haplotypes (CGACT, GAACT, GGAGC, GGACC, CAACT, and GAACC) in the 5'-flanking region of the SULT1A1 gene that were associated with altered enzymatic activity. In the present study, we performed in vitro assays to determine the functional impact of these genetic variations on...
