Polymorphism of the pentanucleotide repeat d(AAAAT) within intron 1 of the human tumor suppressor gene p53 (17p13.1).
DyeDeoxy terminator cycle sequencing of allele-specific polymerase chain reaction products has shown that there is a highly polymorphic d(AAAAT) pentanucleotide repeat within the first intron of the human p53 gene. This provides a genetic marker for tumor suppressor p53 gene alterations.
