✦ Synopsis
Two common Pst I and Taq I restriction enzyme fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were detected at the human parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene locus. The allele frequencies in a Northern German population were 0.578/0.422 (Pst I) and 0.628/0.372 (Taq I). The allele distributions follow Hardy-Weinberg expectations of equilibrium in the population. The Mendelian nature of the polymorphisms were confirmed in family studies.

Two new polymorphisms within the human parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene are described. One corresponds to a C----A transversion that destroys DraII and NlaIV restriction sites. The other is revealed by the enzyme XmnI, and its position has been mapped with respect to the PTH gene. We have also identif
