Abstract excerpt
In the present study, we evaluated all of the 35 non-synonymous SNPs in the gene encoding DNase I-like 2 (DNase 1L2), implicated in terminal differentiation of keratinocytes, to seek a functional SNP that would potentially affect the levels of in vivo DNase 1L2 activity. Based on a compiled expression analysis of the amino acid-substituted DNase 1L2 corresponding to each of the 35 non-synonymous SNPs in the gene,...
