Genetic variants of salivary alpha-amylase were studied using isoelectric focusing in a pH gradient of 6-8 and silver staining methods. Five phenotypes which were tentatively named Amy1 N, Amy1 SN, Amy1 V1N, Amy1 V2SN and Amy1 V3N were detected. The phenotype frequencies in 371 unrelated Japanese...
