Figure 3. The distribution of TRBV copy number polymorphisms reliably called in our sample.

Figure 3.

Schematics in the left column show the polymorphisms, whereas the right column displays the relative abundance (RA) in the full sample of 286 individuals. Our data inform the copy number of these genes, whereas the genomic configuration is our best estimate based on previous studies. The insertion of {TRBV4-2, TRBV4-3} and {TRBV6-2, TRBV6-3} is a frequent polymorphism also found in previous studies (Seboun et al, 1993; Zhao et al, 1994; Subrahmanyan et al, 2001). The polymorphism involving TRBV5-8, TRBV7-8, and TRBV6-9 was identified by first clustering using TRBV5-8 copy number estimates alone, and then noticing that such a clustering also induced a clear-cut partition of the copy number estimates for TRBV7-8 and TRBV6-9.
