FunctionRegulatory impactPMID:405897160No consistent differences in TYMS expression were observed between probands and controls. In cultured skin fibroblasts, TYMS protein levels varied between the twins (twin A lower than twin B) but remained within the control range. Similarly, mean TYMS expression levels in patient PBMCs and skin fibroblasts fell within values observed in control samples.
