title: Sequence of a human E2F-4 pseudogene with shortened AGC trinucleotide repeats.
abstract: We have isolated a human genomic DNA fragment of 0.7 kb by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using human E2F-4 gene primers. Sequence analysis indicates that this DNA comes from a processed E2F-4 pseudogene. Its sequence is 75% identical to the human E2F-4 cDNA, and bears several deletions and insertions. A 30 bp deletion shortens the 13 AGC repeats in the E2F-4 gene by 10 repeats. The sequence data also suggest that another 65 bp deletion and some small insertions may be generated by replication errors on template pairing.
