title: A new allelic variation within the 5'-flanking region of the interleukin-10 gene.
abstract: At -2471 bp from the transcriptional start site of the interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene, the inverted repeat TG/CA was previously identified and designated IL-10.IR. In an analysis of samples from 200 Germans (Caucasian) and 286 Gabonese (Central African), three different alleles, IL-10.IR6, IL-10.IR7 and IL-10.IR8, were identified. In the Caucasians, IL-10.IR6 and IL-10.IR8 were found only once, in each case with IL-10.IR7 as the corresponding second allele.
