Abstract
The CSR (cellular stress response) gene encodes a protein that structurally resembles the macrophage scavenger receptor, and is a potent regulator of intracellular reactive oxygen intermediates. We found a polymorphic dinucleotide repeat in the first intron of the CSR gene. This polymorphism will be a useful genetic marker to study diseases associated with oxidative stress.
