Abstract excerpt
A new DNA probe, U6.2, defining locus DXS304, was recently shown to be closely linked to the fragile X locus (FRAXA). It is polymorphic with a number of different enzymes, all of which are in complete linkage disequilibrium, which suggests an insertion/deletion type of polymorphism. Using the method of Sanger, we have sequenced 1,102 bp of the cloned U6.2 fragment. Analysis of the sequence showed there was a long...
