Abstract excerpt
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms detected by the cDNA probe, pEMBL36, at the CALCA locus (calcitonin gene and calcitonin gene related peptide) on TaqI blots were examined in samples from Italian, Greek and Vietnamese migrants to Melbourne, Australia and in a sample of residents from the island of Tasmania, Australia. The frequency of the rarer of the two alleles of this polymorphism, A2 (8.0kb) varied...
