Abstract excerpt
Sequences immediately adjacent to the human Xp/Yp telomere exhibit a high frequency of base substitutional polymorphisms, together with almost complete linkage disequilibrium, to create only a few diverged haplotypes. This sequence divergence has been used to develop a PCR-based system for mapping the distribution of the telomere (TTAGGG) and variant repeats (TGAGGG and TCAGGG) at the proximal end of the telomere...
