Complex germline and somatic mutation processes at a haploid human minisatellite shown by single-molecule analysis
Mutation at most human minisatellites is driven by complex interallelic processes that give rise to a high degree of length polymorphism and internal structural variation. MSY1, the only highly variable minisatellite on the non-recombining region of the Y chromosome, is constitutively haploid and therefore precluded from interallelic interactions, yet maintains high diversity in both length and...
متن کاملMutation at the Human D1S80 Minisatellite Locus
Little is known about the general biology of minisatellites. The purpose of this study is to examine repeat mutations from the D1S80 minisatellite locus by sequence analysis to elucidate the mutational process at this locus. This is a highly polymorphic minisatellite locus, located in the subtelomeric region of chromosome 1. We have analyzed 90,000 human germline transmission events and found s...
متن کاملAllele diversity and germline mutation at the insulin minisatellite.
Previous analysis of germline mutation at highly unstable GC-rich minisatellites with continuous allele size distributions revealed similar meiotic recombinational mechanisms operating at all loci investigated. The insulin minisatellite has been studied intensively due to its associations with diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity and birth size. Its bimodal allele size distribution in C...
متن کاملMutation rate heterogeneity and the generation of allele diversity at the human minisatellite MS205 (D16S309).
Many tandemly repeated minisatellite loci display extreme levels of length variation as a consequence of high rates of spontaneous germline mutation altering repeat copy number. Direct screening for new allele lengths by small-pool PCR has shown that instability at the human minisatellite locus MS205 (D16S309) is largely germline specific and usually results in the gain or loss of just a few re...
متن کاملExtremely complex repeat shuffling during germline mutation at human minisatellite B6.7.
Human minisatellite B6.7 is a highly variable locus showing extensive heterozygosity with alleles ranging from six to >500 repeat units. Paternal and maternal mutation rates to new length alleles were estimated from pedigrees at 7.0 and 3.9% per gamete, respectively, indicating that B6.7 is one of the most unstable minisatellites isolated to date. Mutation at this locus was also analysed by sma...
