High-Yield Explanation
An inherited difference in the pattern of restriction enzyme digestion (eg, a DNA variation occurring in more than 1% of the general population) is known as a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). RFLPs result from single-base changes (eg, sickle-cell disease) or from deletions or inseions (CNVs) of DNA into a restriction fragment (eg, the thalassemias) and have proved to be useful diagnostic tools.
