| Additional Information: | Funding Information: Dinucleotide repeat sequences of the form (G-T)n are highly polymorphic and represent an important new pool of genetic markers. Using the polymerase chain reaction and primers flanking the (G-T)n region, one of which is end-labelled with y^P dATP, these polymorphic alleles can be amplified and distinguished by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels. Primer Sequences: AGAGGTGAATTTGCAAGTGA (GT strand); AGTGATGGTTATTACTGCAG (CA strand). PCR Conditions: PCR was carried out in a total volume of 100 /J containing 1 fig genomic DNA; 25 pmols of each primer with an additional 0.2 pmol of radiolabelled CA strand primer; 400 fM of each dNTP's; 50 mM KC1, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.3, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 0.01% w/v gelatin; 2 units Taq polymerase (Cetus). Each amplification was performed for 30 cycles, 1 minute at 93°C, 1 minute at 57°C and 1 minute at 72°C. Polymorphism: PCR detects five alleles. Sequencing of two subcloned alleles revealed that the variation in size results from changes in the length of the (G-T)n region and of an adjacent (G-C)nregion.

Frequency: Allele frequencies were calculated from 28 unrelated individuals. Mendelian Inheritance: Codominant segregation was shown in 1 informative two generation family (14 individuals).
