Analysis of the human alpha-globin gene cluster reveals a highly informative genetic locus.

Extensive molecular studies have characterized 15 dimorphic and 2 multiallelic genetic markers within the human alpha-globin gene cluster. Analysis of these markers in 9 populations has shown that the alpha-globin locus is remarkably polymorphic and is therefore an ideal marker on chromosome 16 for...
