Abstract excerpt
The DNA sequence of 11 in vivo-arising intragenic deletion junctions occurring in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) gene of human T-lymphocytes was determined. These deletions ranged in size from 16 bp to 4057 bp. Extensive homology was not found at the deletion breaksites, indicating that non-homologous recombination was responsible for these deletions. Short regions of homology (1-3...
