The aim of this study is to identify a transcript of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) gene which specifically expresses in multiple myeloma. We found five novel first exons of the human PDGFRα gene although a multiple myeloma-specific transcript was not identified. It has been reported that a gene expression system by alternative first exons is involved in a spatio-temporal expression of the gene. Thus we identified mouse homologues of the first exons and their expression was examined. The first exons showed a different tissue expression patterns, suggesting that the expression of the PDGFRα gene is precisely regulated by its first exons.
