We determined the complete genomic sequence of the human CD79b (Ig~/B29) gene. The CD79b gene product is associated with the membrane immunoglobulin signaling complex which is composed of immunoglobulin (Ig) itself, associated in a noncovalent fashion with CD79b and a second polypeptide chain, CD79a

β¦ Synopsis
Five sequence polymorphisms at the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene locus were observed to be in tight association with specific alleles of this locus. Since these polymorphisms can be detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methodology, application of a combination of these polymorphisms reduces the effort involved in PAH DNA haplotype analysis, which is needed for population genetic analysis or diagnosis of the disease status. In addition our results indicate the evolution of haplotype 3, 4 and 7 PAH alleles from a common ancestor, whereas PAH haplotypes 5, 6, and 11 arose from another common ancestor allele. These data reveal that two of the polymorphisms investigated originated before the separation of races.

Mutations in the human phenylalanine hydroxylase gene producing phenylketonuria or hyperphenylalaninemia have now been identified in many patients from various ethnic groups. These mutations all exhibit a high degree of association with specific restriction fragment-length polymorphism haplotypes at
## Abstract __PLK3/PRK__, a conserved polo family protein serine/threonine kinase, plays a significant role at the onset of mitosis and mitotic progression. Recently, __PLK3/PRK__ has been shown to induce apoptosis when overexpressed in cell lines and is also implicated in cell proliferation and tu
