Abstract excerpt
Large chromosomal rearrangements, duplications, and inversions are relatively common in mammalian genomes. Here we report interesting features of DNA strands flanking a Multiple Sclerosis (MS) susceptibility locus on Chromosome 17q24. During the positional cloning process of this 3-Mb locus, several markers showed a radiation hybrid clone retention rate above the average (1.8-fold), suggestive for the existence...
