Abstract
The CSR (cellular stress response) gene encodes a protein that structu rally resembles the macrophage scavenger receptor, and is a potent reg ulator of intracellular reactive oxygen intermediates. We found a poly morphic dinucleotide repeat in the first intron of the CSR gene. This polymorphism will be a useful genetic marker to study diseases associa ted with oxidative stress.
