Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of mutations in protooncogenes and their regulatory sequences in the pathogenesis of cancer is under close scrutiny. Minisatellites are unstable repetitive sequences of DNA that are present throughout the human genome. The highly polymorphic HRAS1 minisatellite locus just downstream from the protooncogene H-ras-1 consists of four common progenitor alleles and several dozen rare alleles, which...
