Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • The human 27-kD calbindin (CALB1) gene is located at chromosome 8q21.
  • Understanding genetic variations in CALB1 is important for various research areas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and characterize a polymorphic marker associated with the human CALB1 gene.
  • To establish a tool for studying genetic diversity within the CALB1 gene.

Main Methods:

  • Isolation of a BAC clone containing the human CALB1 gene.
  • Identification of a polymorphic dinucleotide (CA) repeat sequence within the BAC clone.

Main Results:

  • A polymorphic dinucleotide (CA) sequence was successfully isolated.
  • The identified polymorphism is located in proximity to the CALB1 gene.
