Abstract excerpt
In the analysis of 40 CEPH families, under the EUROGEM project, with a total of 29 microsatellites (26 CA-repeats, a TCTA-repeat within the vWFII-3 gene, a TTA-repeat within the PLA-2 gene, and an AAAT-repeat intragenic to the NF1 gene) from human chromosomes 12, 17, and 21, we have detected 21 cases of abnormal segregation of alleles in 16 pedigrees for a total of 14 markers (48%). In 11 cases, the abnormal...
