Biallelic markers derived from genomic regions carrying genes involved in arachidonic acid metabolism

摘要

The invention provides polynucleotides including biallelic markers derived from genes involved in arachidonic acid metabolism and from genomic regions flanking those genes. Primers hybridizing to regions flanking these biallelic markers are also provided. This invention also provides polynucleotides and methods suitable for genotyping a nucleic acid containing sample for one or more biallelic markers of the invention. Further, the invention provides methods to detect a statistical correlation between a biallelic marker allele and a phenotype and/or between a biallelic marker haplotype and a phenotype.
