dunno also. thats what my senior said, but how to tell sia?? i
mean, according to how i understand the codes in NCBI, the part of
the gene i am interested in (that contains a particularly
interesting mutation) isnt even in the coding region of the gene.
wassup with that? if the mutation is not involved in coding for the
enzyme, then how can it affect phenotype? 
and no, it's not a regulatory thing either. it's in the farking
intron for heaven's sake!
