Novel polymorphism in the promoter region of the human nerve growth‐factor gene

We describe a novel T to C transition at position −198 from the transcription start of the human nerve growth‐factor (NGF) gene. In British Caucasoid healthy control group that we have genotyped, T and C allele frequencies are 0.633 and 0.367, respectively. This polymorphism affects vitamin D receptor (VDR) binding to its motif in the NGF promoter.
