We have studied the structure, organization, and evolution of the human TSPY gene family by mapping three sequence variants identified through RT-PCR analysis onto genomic clones derived from two different YAC contigs. TSPY gene family members occur in at least six locations on the human Y chromosome, and each cluster contains a unique combination of variants. Our data further suggest that an 18-bp tandem duplication found in TSPY exon 1 originated from an unequal sister chromatid exchange between two tandemly arranged TSPY clusters. Copyright (C) 2001 S.
