Abstract excerpt
The variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) 3' of the collagen type II (COL2A1) gene has been shown to be highly variable with a complex molecular structure. In a previous pilot experiment we observed discordance between methods to genotype this informative marker. To further investigate the extent and molecular nature of this discordance, we genotyped a random sample of 207 Caucasian individuals with two...
