The effect of the recently described “Long G” (lG) allele was also analyzed [Hu et al., 2006]. The frequency of the “G” allele among the l alleles in the 179 subjects for whom both genotype and expression data for the exon 1 probes was available was 16% (33/211). Using an ordinal regression model that specified the following rank order s,s < s,lG < s,l < l,lG < l,l, there was no effect of the “Long G” allele on transcription using either the exon 1 probe (see data Table III, OLR, P < 0.18) or the exon 8 probe (data not shown).
