Abstract:
The AvaII 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 deficiency caused by mutations of the CD18 gene.
