In addition, the GLP/LCR15 duplicon was shown by Gilles et al . to be polymorphic in the human population - showing that these sequences have considerable intraspecific plasticity [ 18 ] . The GLP/LCR15 duplication family has expanded over the last 20 million years of primate evolution, before the divergence of the great ape lineages, resulting in a multitude of copies (estimated at 27) present at multiple sites along chromosome 15, providing the conditions required for rearrangements driven by nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR) [ 18 19 21 27 ] .
