Minisatellite allele diversification: the origin of rare alleles at the HRAS1 locus.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Nov 1990

Abstract excerpt

Three genetic markers within the promoter-exon 1 region of the HRAS1 locus have been employed to investigate lineage relationships among alleles of the highly polymorphic variable tandem repeat (VTR) immediately downstream of the HRAS1 gene. These markers were in absolute linkage disequilibrium w...
