Abstract excerpt

Interferon-alpha constitutes a complex gene family with 14 genes clustered on the short arm of chromosome 9. More than 50 sequence variants have been described. However, an extensive genetic polymorphism has not been seen in the few population studies reported so far. As many of the sequence variants reported were derived from tumor cell lines, we have investigated whether IFN-alpha genes are unstable in tumor...
