An MspI polymorphism in the X-specific region proximal to the pseudoautosomal boundary. A new example of a unique "African" marker?
A polymorphic MspI site was located in the X-specific region proximal to the pseudoautosomal boundary. Two alleles defined by the absence or the presence of the MspI site were detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in a sample of Bantu-speaking individuals from Cameroon. No variation for this site was observed in a population sample from Italy.
