Predicting human minisatellite polymorphism.
We seek to define sequence-based predictive criteria to identify polymorphic and hypermutable minisatellites in the human genome. Polymorphism of a representative pool of minisatellites, selected from human chromosomes 21 and 22, was experimentally measured by PCR typing in a population of unrelated individuals. Two predictive approaches were tested. One uses simple repeat characteristics (e.g....
متن کاملMutation at the Human D1S80 Minisatellite Locus
Little is known about the general biology of minisatellites. The purpose of this study is to examine repeat mutations from the D1S80 minisatellite locus by sequence analysis to elucidate the mutational process at this locus. This is a highly polymorphic minisatellite locus, located in the subtelomeric region of chromosome 1. We have analyzed 90,000 human germline transmission events and found s...
متن کاملSpontaneous and induced minisatellite instability in the human genome.
1. Minisatellites, originally developed for forensic DNA fingerprinting and profiling, have also provided extremely informative systems for analysing processes of tandem repeat DNA turnover in the human genome. 2. Minisatellite instability involves distinct mutation processes in somatic and germline cells. In sperm, tandem repeat instability most likely arises at meiosis as a by-product of high...
متن کاملHuman platelet antigen polymorphism in bronchial asthma
Background: Asthma is recognized as a common cause of disability, of great economic cost, and of preventable deaths. In this study we aimed to test our hypothesis to evaluate the relationship between the Human Platelet Antigen-1(HPA-1) polymorphism and bronchial asthma and its severity, which would suggest genetic variances that may be responsible for expression or activation of these receptors...
متن کاملMinisatellite instability at the Adh locus reveals somatic polymorphism in amphioxus
Amphioxus (subphylum Cephalochordata) is the closest living relative to vertebrates and widely used for phylogenetic analyses of vertebrate gene evolution. Amphioxus genes are highly polymorphic, but the origin and nature of this variability is unknown. We have analyzed the alcohol dehydrogenase locus (Adh3) in two amphioxus species (Branchiostoma lanceolatum and Branchiostoma floridae) and fou...
