Fig. 1. The results of sequencing of homozygous and heterozygous samples. The varying nucleotides are shown in gray. Peculiar to the homozygotes is a single peak in the chromatogram at the position of the rs1042713 and 1042714 polymorphisms (A and C, respectively). Heterozygotes are characterized by a double peak at the position of the rs1042713 and 1042714 polymorphisms (B and D, respectively)
