Abstract

Eleven human-specific Alu insertion polymorphic loci (ACE, APO, A25, B65, D1, FXIIIB, HS2.36, HS2.43, HS3.23, PV92, TPA25) were analyzed in a population sample of 263 unrelated healthy individuals native of Piedmont (North-Western Italy). Alu insertion frequency and heterozygosity values were highly variable in all loci, except for the HS2.36 locus.
