Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the frequency distribution, across a broad range of geographically dispersed populations, of alleles of the polymorphic Alu insertion that occurs within the 8th intron of the tissue plasminogen, activator gene (PLAT). This Alu is a member of a recently derived subfamily of Al...
