A polymorphic Alu insertion that mediates distinct disease-associated deletions.

Abstract excerpt

Large deletions that are associated with insertions of Alu-derived sequence represent a rare, but potentially unique class of alterations. Whether they form by a one-step mechanism or by a primary insertion step followed by an independent secondary deletion step is not clear. We resolved two disease-associated SPAST deletions, which involve distinct exons by long range PCR. Alu-derived sequence was observed...
