Abstract excerpt
We have detected a common (allele frequency 0.53/0.47) single base pair insertion/deletion polymorphism 675 base pairs upstream from the start of transcription of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene, using the chemical cleavage mismatch analysis. "Band shift assays" suggest that the allele with the single base pair insertion contains an additional protein binding site which is not present in the...
