A novel MspI DNA polymorphic site has been found in intron 22 of the human factor VIII gene. This site is informative almost exclusively in the Japanese population (heterozygosity 0.45) and will be of considerable importance in carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis of hemophilia A in this populat

The polymorphism is located within exon 5 of the human coagulation factor VII gene and is silent at the amino acid level. The distribution pattern is similar in Caucasians and African Americans. This polymorphism may be useful for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) diagnosis of factor X
The continued discovery of polymorphisms in the equine genome will be important for future studies using genomic screens and fine mapping for the identification of disease genes. Segments of 50 equine genes were examined for variability in 10 different horse breeds using a poolβandβsequence method.
A polymorphic restriction site has been found in intron 11 of the gene for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). This site is produced by a T----C substitution 13 bp upstream of exon 12, producing an NlaIII restriction site. In various populations there was a strong association between a T at nt
