[i] Candidate screening panels 1–4 contain dinucleotide repeat polymorphic microsatellite markers for obesity candidate genes. There are six separate subheadings within each panel. Under Candidate gene, the gene for which the STS is a marker is identified. Under STS, the Whitehead designated name of the microsatellite is listed. Under size range, the established CEPH expected size range for the STS is listed. Under chromosomal location, the most precise chromosomal address as indicated in the Genome Database is listed. All polymorphic markers included in panels 1–4 are dinucleotide repeats. Under Dye, the recommended fluorescent dye used to label the STS and maximize the power of the technology is listed. Obesity candidate screening panel 5 and Syndrome panels 1 and 2 are named. Candidate panel 5 contains all tetranucleotide repeat STS, with the exception of D7S2190, which is a trinucleotide repeat microsatellite. Under Obesity syndrome, (panels 1 and 2) the obesity-related syndrome is listed for which the individual markers are used to assay.
