The intron between exons 30 and 31 of the neurofibromatosis type 1 gene contains a 350 bp insertion polymorphism which corresponds to a previously reported Taql polymorphism (1). This polymorphism lies in a 4.2 kb EcoKI restriction fragment. We have cloned this fragment and designated its construct pDVl. 9. Our laboratories have used pDV1. 9 extensively as a probe to detect this intragenic polymorphism as a two allele system in diagnostic NFl linkage testing. In an effort to create a PCR based system for the detection of this polymorphism, we localized the polymorphic site by PCR amplification of serial pDV1. 9 segments. By DNA sequencing, we discovered that the polymorphism is due to two morphs; one with, and one without the insertion of a 5'truncated LI (LJNE-1) fragment. The LI unit is of the Ta subset (2), and contains a portion of the 3'open reading frame common to LI units. The insertion is one of six ancient polymorphisms in the NFl gene which are in complete linkage disequilibrium and allelic association (3). To confirm that the polymorphism is due to the presence or absence of the LI element, primer DV1. 9 S2 (5'-CCT TAA TCA TGA AGG GTG CTG ACC-3'), and primer DV1. 9 T2 (5'-GCA TGT GCC ATG GTG CCT GGC T-3') were chosen from the Genbank NFl sequence (4) flanking the LI fragment. PCR was performed in 50/tl reactions containing 150 ng of genomic DNA, 25 pmol of each primer, 200 fiM dNTPs, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.3), 40 mM NaCl, 0.25 mM Spermidine and 1.25 U Taq Polymerase (Perkin-Elmer Cetus). After an initial 5 min denaturation at 94 C, reactions were subjected to 33 cycles of denaturation at 94 C for 20 sec, annealing at 66 C for 20 sec, and extension at 72 C for 40 sec. PCR products were sizefractionated on a 2% agarose gel, and bands of 472 bp, correlating to the LI insertion, and 122 bp, for the wild type, were observed (Figure la.). Genotypes obtained by PCR were identical to those obtained previously by RFLP analysis. Codominant inheritance has been demonstrated in 5 CEPH families, and allele frequencies in 86 CEPH, 10 Asian, and 10 African individuals (3) were:
