A VNTR immediately adjacent to the human pseudoautosomal telomere.

Nucleic acids research - 11 Feb 1990

Inglehearn C F, Cooke H J

Abstract excerpt

The probe 29C1 detects a hypervariable locus 18kb from the telomere of the human X and Y chromosomes, in the pseudoautosomal region. Here we report that hypervariability of fragments containing this sequence in the human population arises by loss or gain of a 31 base pair GC rich repeat. Labelled...
