Somatic reversion of inherited mutations is known for many years in plant breeding, however it was recognized only recently in humans. The concept of revertant mosaicism is important in medical genetics. Am.
A variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism consisting of multiple copies of a 17-bp repeat in the second intron of the serotonin transporter gene (SERT) has been reported. Different alleles of this VNTR have been found to be associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These findings
Dopamine โค-hydroxylase (E.C. 1.14.17.1; protein abbreviation: DโคH) catalyzes conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine. Previous work identified two expressed alleles of the gene encoding DโคH (locus symbol DBH), containing either G or T at nucleotide position 910, resulting in specification by codon
