Abstract excerpt

This study describes the complex nucleotide sequence structure of the TCTA short tandem repeat (STR) locus, VWF2. Eight alleles of VWF2 were observed in a population of 116 unrelated Caucasian individuals. The alleles ranged in size from 150 to 178 base pairs (bp). Sequence analysis of the isolated alleles revealed two polymorphic regions that were named sub-loci VWF2-a and VWF2-b. VWF2-a is located at the 5' end...
