Characterization of microsatellite polymorphisms DXS691 and DXS692: genetic mapping to Xq26.2-Xq27 and Xq25-Xq26.2

Simple sequence repeat microsatellite polymorphisms are extremely useful markers for resolutional enhancement of human genetic linkage maps due to the existence of multiple alleles and a high degree of heterozygosity. The authors have identified and characterized two polymorphic CA-dinucleotide repeats and have determined their positional assignment on the X chromosome by genetic and physical mapping. 14 refs., 1 tab.
