## Abstract The gonadoblastoma (GBY) locus is the only oncogenic locus on the human Y chromosome. It is postulated to serve a normal function in the testis, but could exert oncogenic effects in dysgenetic gonads of individuals with intersex and/or dysfunctional testicular phenotypes. Recent studies
We report a highly polymorphic, sequencetagged microsatellite site (STMS) at the D5S99 locus that was previously identified by a less informative restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). This marker, which was also localized to the physical map of chromosome 5q by fluorescent in situ hybridi
The informativeness of locus D11S29 as a genetic marker was improved by the identification of a highly polymorphic (GT)n repeat within the locus. Ten alleles were identified in parents of 40 Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain families and the polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.77. The
