Schematic representation of GBA and psGBA. Exons are depicted as boxes with identification numbers inside. Alusequences are represented as black boxes. The PCR-amplified and sequenced areas are indicated. The transcripts for both regions are represented with smaller boxes under each region: (a) psGBAtranscript described by Sorge et al. (1990); (b) psGBAtranscript described by Imai et al. (1993). The length of all tracts is roughly proportional to their actual nucleotide length.
