Intragenus variation in a Chemokine Receptor Gene (CCR5) in Homo

2017-09-27

Abstract excerpt

In comparison to non-human primates, humans have a notable increase in polymorphisms of the regulatory regions of the CCR5 gene, an immune system gene with both general and specific functions. This particular pattern of variation is interpreted as allowing flexibility and diversity of gene expression in response to varying disease loads. A broad expression repertoire is useful to humans, the only globally distribu...
