Abstract excerpt
A polymorphic Alu element belonging to the young Ya5 subfamily of Alu repeats located in the progesterone receptor gene has been characterized. Using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay, the genetic diversity associated with the PROGINS Alu repeat was determined in a diverse array of human populations. The level of insertion polymorphism associated with PROGINS suggests that it will be a useful marker...
