Abstract
A systematical study of structure and genomic organization of antithrombin III (ATIII) (Lane and Caso, 1989) indicated that there are two polymorphisms: an intragenic polymorphism arising from a translationally silent A to G transition in condon 305, and a length polymorphism arising from the presence of 32 BP or 108 BP non-homologous sequences 345bp upstream from the translation intiation condon. Products of three ATIII codominant autosomal alleles have been revealed by IEF from Caucasoid and Negroid (Kambol and Ferrell, 1988). On the other hand, the fragment length polymorphism of ATIII has been studied by Southern blotting (Bock and Levitan, 1983) and by PCR (Scino, 1989) in Caucasian population.The purpose of this study is to reveal the genetic polymorphism of ATIII in a Chinese population at the level of both protein and DNA and to explore the relationship between these two kinds of polymorphisms.
