Mutation detection methods identified an adenine to guanine substitution in the CC16 gene at position 38 (A38G) downstream from the transcription initiation site within the non-coding region of exon 1. In the present study, the genetic polymorphism of CC16 was detected by PCR-based method in 175 normal individuals from Shiraz population, Fars province (south of Iran). Initially the subjects were divided into two sex groups. Considering that there was no statistically significant differences between males and females (χ2 = 5.52; df = 2; P https://ijph.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijph/article/view/1876 https://ijph.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijph/article/download/1876/1857
