title: Localization of the highly polymorphic locus D19S120 to 19p13.3 by linkage.
abstract: To obtain the regional localization of a dinucleotide repeat D19S120 (formerly designated LIPE) with 7 alleles and an observed heterozygosity of 73% (Levitt et al., 1992) we typed 40 CEPH families. Given the high heterozygosity and ease of typing, this marker represents a useful addition to the index map of chromosome 19.
