Abstract excerpt
We examined the promoter activity of an association signal in an upstream region of the gene encoding fucosyltransferae 6 (FUT6) identified from a recent genomewide association study for the N-glycan level. The luciferase assay using reporter constructs with T and C alleles at rs3760776 revealed differential promoter activity. The amount of luciferin expressed with the C allele corresponded to that without the...
