Abstract excerpt
The PERB11 gene family has at least five members within the telomeric region of the MHC. The PERB11.1 and PERB11.2 genes are approximately 40 kb and 160 kb centromeric of HLA-B, respectively. Using continuous genomic sequence encompassing PERB11.1 and PERB11.2, we have found a large (approximately 25 kb) segmental duplication extending beyond the genes themselves and other potential coding sequences. The major...
