Abstract
A polymorphic dinucleotide (CA) sequence was isolated from a genomic clone containing the human interleukin 6 (interferon β-2) gene and was mapped to 7p21. This polymorphism will be useful in the genetic study of disorders affecting the inflammation process, calcium metabolism, and hematologic malignancies.
