The invention relates to the FCGR2B gene and its promoter. In particular, the invention relates to FCGR2B promoters with specific nucleotides at polymorphic sites. Characterization of the nucleotides at polymorphic sites is useful for characterizing the gene and the protein and is useful for determining predisposition or susceptibility to certain diseases and infections in a subject or a population of subjects. Such characterization of the gene or protein is also useful for determining immunoresponsiveness or responsiveness to therapeutic agents in a subject or population of subjects. Thus, disclosed herein are a variety of related nucleic acids, methods and tools. |
