We describe a partial TaqI map of the dystrophin gene, obtained mainly by analysis of 87 overlapping DMD/BMD deletions with small fragments of the dystrophin cDNA probes; exon 6 of the dystrophin gene was identified on the TaqI map using the polymerase chain reaction. The cDNA probes detect five polymorphisms with TaqI, more than with HindIII (one), BglII (four), or PstI (three). The five polym...

BACKGROUND The TaqI-A polymorphism of the ANKK1 gene, adjacent to the DRD2 gene, has been associated with alcoholism and other psychiatric conditions, although other DRD2 gene variants, such as the C957T polymorphism, could be related to these phenotypic traits. AIMS To investigate the contribution of the TaqI-A and the C957T polymorphisms to the presence of psychopathic traits in patients wi...

Background and Objectives: TaqI-A polymorphism, related to D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2), and event-related P300 potentials have been considered markers of alcohol dependence. The effect of alcohol use variables and TaqI-A on P300 in a single sample have been hardly analysed previously. This study examined changes in P300 parameters after six months of abstinence in alcohol-dependent subjects cla...

INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by a low bone mineral density (BMD). Osteoporosis and the occurrence of fractures in postmenopausal women have been associated to the TaqI polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. OBJECTIVE To analyze the association of the different genotypes of TaqI polymorphism of the VDR gene with BMD in young Mexican women. M...

Metal cofactors (Mg2+ and Mn2+) modulate both specific DNA binding and strand cleavage in the TaqI endonuclease (Cao, W., Mayer, A. N., and Barany, F. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 2276-2283). This work attempts to establish the structural basis of TaqI-DNA-metal2+ interactions using an affinity cleavage technique. The protein was cleaved by localized hydroxyl radicals generated by oxidizing Fe2+ wit...
