Abstract excerpt

The EcoRI, RsaI, and MspI RFLPs (restriction fragment length polymorphisms) of the COL1A2 gene, one of the two genes that encode for the polypeptides of type I collagen, have been studied in four West African and two Asian populations to evaluate their potential effectiveness as anthropological m...
