Abstract excerpt
The informativeness of locus D11S29 as a genetic marker was improved by the identification of a highly polymorphic (GT)n repeat within the locus. Ten alleles were identified in parents of 40 Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain families and the polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.77. The increased PIC value thus enables refinement of the linkage map of 11q23.
