Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The secretor type α(1,2)fucosyltransferase gene (FUT2) is known to be rich in population-specific polymorphisms. However, genetic variations of FUT2 have not been well examined in Latin American populations in which nonsecretors are rare. METHODS: Conventional polymerase chain reactions and direct sequencing were performed to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variations...
