Abstract:
Objective To understand the genetic polymorphs of the D
17S
5 locus in TCC.
Methods The D
17S
5 VNTR of 52 patients of TCC were observed by PCR,PAGE and silver staining methods.
Results The analysis revealed 10 alleles,different from normal individuals significantly(P<0.001).The distribution of genotypes were in bad agreement with the expected number under the Hardy-weinberg equilibrium(P<0.001).The heterozygosity of D
17S
5 locus in TCC(61.54%)was less than that in normal organism(83.85%)(P<0.01).
Conclusion The results suggested that the changes of the distribution of D
17S
5 VNTR might be due to deletions of some frequencies or LOH.
