Abstract excerpt
A polymorphism of the variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) type is located 97 bp downstream of exon VI of the parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) gene in humans. The repeat unit has the general sequence G(TA)nC, where n equals 4-11. In order to characterize the evolutionary history of this VNTR, we initially tested for its presence in 13 different species representing four main groups of living...
