Abstract excerpt
The genes for type I interferon (IFN), which include 14 IFN-alpha genes, 1 IFN-beta gene, 1 IFN-omega gene, and a number of IFN-omega pseudogenes, are clustered on human chromosome 9. Among IFN-alpha genes, a number of variants have been reported. Three variants of IFN-alpha 7 (IFN-alpha 7a, IFN-alpha 7b, and IFN-alpha 7c) and IFN-alpha 14 (IFN-alpha 14a, IFN-alpha 14b, and IFN-alpha 14c) and two variants of...
