A 31-bp variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism of the cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) gene was earlier reported in Caucasians of predominantly European descent and Indo-Caucasoid populations. We report here for the first time, the detection of allele 20, which was absent in Caucasian and Indo-Caucasoid populations, as a common allele present in Singaporean Chinese (6.25%), Indians (11.7%), and...
