The FES short tandem repeat (STR) locus contains seven to 14 repeats of the tetranucleotide sequence ATTT. A novel 10 base pair dimorphism in the 5' flanking region of the FES locus was characterized in four broad populations: African-American, Hispanic, Caucasian, and Asian. The absence of the 10 base pair sequence, or (-) allele, was closely linked to FES STR alleles with 10 or fewer repeats. The presence of...
