Abstract excerpt
Mutagenesis at the aprt locus in TK6 human lymphoblasts has been found to occur at an unusually high rate (1.2 x 10(-9)) for a homozygous diploid locus. Evaluation of linked microsatellite polymorphisms demonstrated that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) accompanies conventional intragenic sequence alterations in each APRT- mutant. LOH occurred without allele preference. The extent of loss was highly uniform, ranging...
