By direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified DNA from different individuals, three point mutations have been found in a 220-bp fragment from the promoter region of the human cystatin C gene. The three mutations are all localized within a short segment of 85bp on the same allele.

The AvalI polymorphic site within the human CD18 gene was investigated in the Japanese population. A distinct distribution pattern is observed in this population. This polymorphism provides a new genetic marker for the long arm of chromosome 21 and should be a useful marker of leukocyte adhesion def
A DNA variation in the coding region of the human cystatin C gene has been detected by direct sequencing. The polymorphism, a G/A transition, leads to an Ala/Thr variation in the penultimate amino acid of the signal peptide. The base substitution results in the loss of a SstII restriction site, thus
The ScaI polymorphic site within the stop codon of the human atrial natriuretic peptides (hANP) gene was investigated in Mauritian Indian, black African and French Caucasian populations. A distinct distribution pattern is observed in these three populations.
