One copy of each allele from each locus and species was sequenced (GenBank accessions AM410712 to AM410723), and used to check for correct gene identity by comparing the exonic ends with orthologous GenBank accessions.

Of the remaining six polymorphisms, one was an exonic polymorphism (Met287Thr), and five were intronic [C5019T, a 36-bp deletion at 5051, T5194G, a deletion of TTT at 8788, and T12590C].
