Abstract excerpt
The SLC6A19 is a human homolog of B(0)AT1 that encodes a neutral amino acid transporter. We examined the distribution of VNTR (variable number of tandem repeats; minisatellites) and conducted polymorphic analysis of SCL6A19 isolated from the genomic DNA of controls and multi-generational families. The SLC6A19 was found to contain seven blocks of minisatellites, 3 of which (SLC6A19-MS1, -MS4, and -MS7) showed...
