Patent ID: 7026163

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule consisting essentially of a variant SULT1C1 nucleic acid sequence, wherein said variant SULT1C1 nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of: (a) at least ten contiguous nucleotides of SEQ ID NO: 26, wherein said sequence includes nucleotide position 179 of SEQ ID NO: 26, with the proviso that the nucleotide at position 179 is cytosine; or (b) at least ten contiguous nucleotides of SEQ ID NO: 26, wherein said sequence includes nucleotide position 218 of SEQ ID NO: 26, with the proviso that the nucleotide at position 218 is adenine; or (c) at least ten contiguous nucleotides of SEQ ID NO: 26, wherein said sequence includes nucleotide position 332 of SEQ ID NO: 26, with the proviso that the nucleotide at position 332 is thymine; or (d) at least ten contiguous nucleotides of SEQ ID NO; 26, wherein said sequence includes nucleotide position 763 of SEQ ID NO: 26, with the proviso that the nucleotide at position 763 is guanine; or (e) the complement of (a), (b), (c), or (d).
