Figure 5

Graphical adaptation of BLAST alignments of the region containing a common inversion polymorphism surrounding the emerin (EMD) gene associated with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. [23] This is an example of a palindromic segmental duplication (PSD) associated with a common inversion that did not meet our stringent criteria of minimum length of 10 kb for each duplicated segment after 'fuguisation'. The location of the EMD gene is indicated below. The yellow and purple lines represent short sequence overlaps of < 100 and < 200 bp, respectively, mapping to the telomeric region just outside the window range on the X chromosome.
