Abstract excerpt
The upstream sequence of the glutathione S-transferase pi gene contains pentanucleotide (ATAAA) repeats. Analysis of the region using polymerase chain reaction indicated that the repeat sequence was polymorphic and segregation of the polymorphic alleles was codominant heredity. Heterozygosity of the new VNTR was 0.818 in healthy Japanese and 0.794 in American whites. Allelic frequencies among healthy controls and...
