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.
在日本人群中对人类CD18基因内的AvaII多态性位点进行了研究。在该人群中观察到一种独特的分布模式。这种多态性为21号染色体长臂提供了一种新的遗传标记,并且应该是由CD18基因突变引起的白细胞黏附缺陷的有用标记。
