Figure 1 Characterization of an intronic 39-bp deletion polymorphism in PTEN. a: PCR products were electrophoresed on 2% agarose gel with 100-bp DNA ladder. Arrows denote samples which are heterozygous for the 39-bp deletion. b:Fluorescent sizing of the 39-bp deletion. The upper panelshows a wild-type homozygote for the full-length 322-bp fluorescence-labeled PCR product. The lower panel shows a heterozygote with one allele containing the 39-bp deletion, which resulted in a short product of 284 bp, and the wild-type allele resulting in a full-length 322-bp product. c: Sequencing of the variant (upper panel) and the full-length (lower panel) PCR products revealed the 39-bp intronic deletion (IVS7–15→53). The deleted nucleotides are underlined in the lower panel.
