The human SNAIL is an important developmental protein involved in the formation of mesoderm and neural crest. The protein contains three classic and one atypical zinc-finger motif. The SNAI1 gene is composed of three exons. We have identified three SNPs in non-coding regions, two in the 5'UTR and one in intron 1, which can be detected by PCR followed by restriction enzyme digestion. We also identified a GGG/GGGG polymorphism in intron 1. We screened CEPH DNAs for these polymorphisms.
人类SNAIL是一种重要的发育蛋白,参与中胚层和神经嵴的形成。该蛋白包含三个经典的和一个非典型的锌指基序。SNAI1基因由三个外显子组成。我们在非编码区鉴定出三个单核苷酸多态性(SNP),两个在5'非翻译区(UTR),一个在内含子1中,可通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)随后进行限制性内切酶消化来检测。我们还在内含子1中鉴定出一个GGG/GGGG多态性。我们对CEPH DNA进行了这些多态性的筛查。
