Abstract excerpt
The frequencies of three polymorphisms in the promoter region of the human protein C gene have been determined in three ethnic groups of the Brazilian population. The allele frequencies observed in south-eastern Brazilian Caucasians and Blacks were similar to the values obtained for the Dutch population and were different from those observed in Amazonian Indians living in the north of the country. The most...
