Segmental duplication as one of the driving forces underlying the diversity of the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable gene region
27 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Segmental duplication and deletion were implicated for a region containing the human immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV) gene segments, 1.9III/hv3005 (possible allelic variants of IGHV3-30) and hv3019b9 (a possible allelic variant of IGHV3-33). However, very little is known about the ranges of the duplication and the polymorphic region. This is mainly because of the difficulty associated with...
