Identification and characterization of polymorphisms at the HSA a1-acid glycoprotein (ORM*) gene locus in Caucasians

Human alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) or orosomucoid (ORM) is a major acute phase protein that is thought to play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis. Human AGP is the product of a cluster of at least two adjacent genes located on HSA chromosome 9. Using a range of restriction endonucleases we...
