Abstract excerpt
VNTR regions are informative genetic markers for linkage mapping and individual identification. Using PCR, we have developed a procedure for the enzymatic amplification of the VNTR located in the 16th intron of the human retinoblastoma (RB1) gene. We have also prepared a nonisotopically labeled oligonucleotide probe which facilitates detection of the amplification products. In examining 250 individuals from four...
