Abstract excerpt
Regions containing palindromic sequence are known to be susceptible to genomic rearrangement in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Palindromic AT-rich repeats (PATRR) are hypervariable in the human genome, manifesting size polymorphisms and a propensity to rearrange. Size variations are mainly the result of internal deletions, while two PATRRs on 11q23 and 22q11 (PATRR11 and 22) contribute to generation of the t(11;22),...
