title: Recombination between VH pseudogenes.
abstract: The peculiar pattern of nucleotide differences between germline VH genes V104A/VAR104 and 122B could be the result of an exchange of genetic information through gene conversion. A palindromic sequence in one of the genes seems to have been the target site for the break that initiated recombination.
