Copy number variation of human AMY1 is a minor contributor to variation in salivary amylase expression and activity

BACKGROUND: Salivary amylase in humans is encoded by the copy variable gene AMY1 in the amylase gene cluster on chromosome 1. Although the role of salivary amylase is well established, the consequences of the copy number variation (CNV) at AMY1 on salivary amylase protein production are less well un...
