VNTRs (variable number of tandem repeats). These polymorphisms are the result of varying numbers of minisatellite repeats in a specific region of a chromosome. The repeat units typically range in size from 20 to 70 bases each. The repeat is flanked on both sides by a restriction site, and variation in the number of repeats produces restriction fragments of varying size. 

Rapid rearrangement of a polymorphic minisatellite within the D-loop/control region of the 5. mansoni mitochondrial genome has also been reported by various authors (Minchella et al., 1994 Bieberich and Minchella, 2001 Jannolti-Passos et al., 2001). These observations are discussed in detail in the section entitled Maternal Inheritance. ...
