Polymorphic DNA region adjacent to the 5' end of the human insulin gene.

Abstract

The length of a segment of DNA associated with the human insulin gene, which has been localized to the short arm of chromosome 11, is heterozygous in 63% of 52 individuals analyzed. This polymorphic region is approximately 500 base pairs from the nucleotide encoding the 5' end of insulin mRNA. The polymorphism appears to be due to an insertion or deletion of DNA sequences so that DNA fragments of different length are generated when DNA from a heterozygous individual is digested with selected restriction endonucleases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
