Abstract excerpt

The amplifiable VNTR polymorphic system COL2A1 has been investigated in Chinese and German population samples. In order to accurately identify COL2A1 alleles, a number of human allele ladders were prepared. A total of 14 different alleles in 23 genotypes was observed in the Chinese population, wh...
