PCR assay for a polymorphic Dde I site in the promoter region of the human cystatin C gene (CST3)

• A new DNA variant in the promoter region of the human cystatin C gene has been detected by direct sequencing. The base substitution generates a newDdeO restriction site, thus allowing the design of a rapid polymerase chain reaction assay for analysis of this polymorphism in the population.
