(a) isolating genomic polynucleotide from a subject and
(b) determining the presence or absence of a nucleotide sequence variation in said genomic polynucleotide by comparing the nucleotide sequence a 5′-noncoding region, 3′-noncoding region or intron region of SEQ ID NO:4 with the nucleotide sequence of the isolated genomic polynucleotide and establishing if and where a difference occurs between the two nucleic acid sequences thereby identifying a nucleotide sequence variant of a 5′-noncoding region, 3′-noncoding region or intron region of SEQ ID NO:4 or its complement.
