Abstract excerpt

Enzyme and DNA polymorphisms and haplotypes of tissue-specific alkaline phosphatase genes were studied in Finns, Saamis and Swedes. In placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), found after digestion with RsaI and PstI, no significant population diffe...
