Abstract excerpt

A region with a variable number of tandem ATCT repeats (VNTR) has previously been localized within intron 40 of the von Willebrand factor (vWF) gene. In the present report we describe the use of this polymorphism as a genetic marker to study the inheritance pattern in five families affected with...
