The DNA sequence of the human IFN-gamma gene shows the presence of a variable-length CA repeat in the first intron of the gene. We investigated the allele distribution of this microsatellite region in 164 unrelated healthy individuals, and the association with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production. In vitro production of IFN-gamma showed a significant correlation with the presence of allele #2.
人类干扰素-γ基因的DNA序列显示,该基因的第一个内含子中存在长度可变的CA重复序列。我们研究了164名无亲缘关系的健康个体中该微卫星区域的等位基因分布,以及与干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)产生的相关性。体外IFN-γ的产生与等位基因#2的存在呈显著相关。
