A highly informative CA/GT repeat polymorphism in intron 38 of the human neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene.
We describe a polymorphic microsatellite in intron 38 of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene. The microsatellite consists of a CA/GT dinucleotide repeat detecting 8 alleles; it has a heterozygosity of 82%.
