Source and Desciption: The anonymous DNA probe pKPI. 65 reveals a VNTR polymorphism, detected as a Stul RFLP, within the human D4S43 locus (1). We have sequenced a 1269 bp PstI fragment located immediately adjacent to this probe in order to develop PCR primers for the VNTR (EMBL accession number X60679). A 14 bp G/C-rich core (GGGGAGGGGGAAGA) was found to be imperfectly repeated 6 times in a region approximately 350 bp from one end of this fragment. PCRAmplification: Initial attempts to amplify this region by PCR led to products of an unexpected size. We speculate that either the G/C-rich nature of this region or alternate DNA structures produced during PCR were interfering with the amplification process. However, the use of 7-deaza-dGTP (2) led to an efficient yield of polymorphic PCR products in the expected size range. DNA amplification was performed with 0.4 IzM in eachof the primers GH437 (5'-GACCACAGAGAGCTTAGTGGAGC-TT-3') and GH436 (5'-GACCACTTCACTGACATCCACATCT-3'), and'standard'buffer and dNTP concentrations (3), except that 60% of the total dGTP was 7-deaza-dGTP (Pharmacia# 27-2090-02). GenomicDNA (1 Ag) was amplified for 28 cycles using 20 sec at 94 C, 20 sec at 55 C, and 20 sec at 74 C, with a final incubation of 5 min at 74'C. The relative sizes of the PCR products were found to correspond with the classes of fragments seen in Southern blot RFLP analysis, and co-dominant segregation of the alleles was verified in two-and three-generation families (data not shown).
