Human genetics - 1 Aug 1990
Bowcock A, Sartorelli V
Abstract excerpt
Probes detecting restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the insulinlike growth factor (IGF1) gene were isolated and allele frequencies in different human populations determined. No difference was detected between the distribution of IGF1 alleles in Pygmies versus non-Pygmy black Afr...
