Figure 1. Osteonectin 3’ UTR SNP 1599 regulates 3’ UTR function.
(A) Schematic representation of the human osteonectin cDNA, and the characterized SNPs at bases 1046, 1599 and 1970 (grey triangles). (B) Human ON 3’ UTR (cDNA bases 1018-2123) representing haplotypes A and B were cloned into pMIR-REPORT Luciferase vector. Luciferase activity was quantified in hFOB1.19 cells and normalized to β-galactosidase activity (*p<0.05 different from vector; # p<0.05 different from haplotype A, N=6).
