  • Genetic polymorphisms in the human neurokinin 1 receptor gene and their uses in diagnosis and treatment of diseases
    Publication number: 20030054381
    Abstract: This invention provides nucleic acid segments derived from the neurokinin 1 receptor (TACR 1) locus of the human genome, including polymorphic sites. Allele-specific primers and probes hybridizing to these sites and to regions flanking these sites are also provided. This invention further provides methods of analyzing a nucleic acid from an individual or a group of individuals. The nucleic acids, primers, and probes are useful for applications including forensics, paternity testing, medicine, e.g., the correlation of polymorphisms with phenotypic traits, and genetic analysis, e.g., genetic mapping of such phenotypic traits.
