Abstract excerpt
We found a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) sequence with 38-bp repetitive units in the promoter region of a gene of unknown function on human chromosome 11p15. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of this VNTR sequence using genomic DNA from 80 unrelated individuals revealed two common alleles, one with 10 (79% allelic frequency) and the other with 14 (14% allelic frequency) repetitive units, and two...
