Abstract excerpt
The human alpha-globin complex contains several polymorphic restriction-enzyme sites (i.e., RFLPs) linked to form haplotypes and is flanked by two hypervariable VNTR loci, the 5' hypervariable region (HVR) and the more highly polymorphic 3'HVR. Using a combination of RFLP analysis and PCR, we have characterized the 5'HVR and 3'HVR alleles associated with the alpha-globin haplotypes of 133 chromosomes, and we here...
