Two new highly polymorphic markers in the 3′ UTR region of the PLA2G7 gene

Summary We described two new highly polymorphic markers located 31 bp downstream of the last nucleotide of exon 12 in the 3′ UTR region of the gene PLA2G7: 1344 +31TGn AGm. Eight and 14 alleles were observed for the AG and TG repeats, respectively. These two markers have the highest heterozygosity u...

Eight and 14 alleles were observed for the AG and TG repeats, respectively. These two markers have the highest heterozygosity until now reported for PLA2G7 gene.
