Abstract
The variable number of tandem repeat regions (VNTRs) are a great source of polymorphism in the human genome. VNTR alleles have been identified initially by Southern blotting analysis . To date, as the sequences surrounding the polymorphic region have been defined, rapid typing of VNTRs polymorphism has been performed using PCR. PCR-based assay is rapid and can offer DNA typing also when the amount of DNA is too small to be typed with Southern blotting.
