Abstract excerpt
We examined the complex short tandem repeat (STR) locus at the 3'-flanking region of the neurotensin receptor (NTR) gene. The polymorphism of this locus was first reported as a simple tetranucleotide repeat variation by Le et al., but it also offers a surprisingly informative variation, that permits reliable individual identification by two complementary strategies: fluorescent-labelled polymerase chain reaction...
