Experimentally observed germline mutations at human micro- and minisatellite loci.

Abstract excerpt

We have analysed close to 30,000 human germline transmission events at five microsatellite loci (D3S1359, HumTH01, HumvWA, HumTPO and HumFES) and four minisatellite loci (D1S80, ApoB, Col2A1 and D17S30). At these loci the mutation rates are similar at the microsatellite and the minisatellite loci, varying from 0.2 x 10(-3) to < 3.3 x 10(-3) and from 0.5 x 10(-3) to 1.5 x 10(-3), respectively. Interestingly,...
