M. Hahn et al., POLYMORPHISM OF THE PENTANUCLEOTIDE REPEAT D(AAAAT) WITHIN INTRON-1 OF THE HUMAN TUMOR-SUPPRESSOR GENE P53 (17P13.1), Human genetics, 95(4), 1995, pp. 471-472
DyeDeoxy terminator cycle sequencing of allele-specific polymerase cha
in reaction products has shown that there is a highly polymorphic d(AA
AAT) pentanucleotide repeat within the first intron of the human p53 g
ene. This provides a genetic marker for tumor suppressor p53 gene alte
rations.
