Abstract excerpt
In humans, the HS1.2 enhancer in the Ig heavy-chain locus is modular, with length polymorphism. Previous studies have shown the following features for this variation: (i) strong population structuring; (ii) association with autoimmune diseases; and (iii) association with developmental changes in Ig expression. The HS1.2 region could then be considered as a contributor to inter-individual diversity in humoral...
