Blood samples collected from a number of human populations belonging to various ethnic groups were screened on cellogel for red-cell esterase D (ESD) variants. These data gathered during the present study together with those that have already appeared in the literature indicate that the common varia

We have analyzed the allele frequency distribution at the highly polymorphic variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) locus D1S80 (pMCT118) in seven ethnic populations (namely, New Guinea Highlanders of Papua New Guinea, Dogrib Indians of Canada, Pehuenche Indians of Chile, American and Western Samoa
Esterase-D phenotypes were determined in a population sample of Tuscany, Italy. The observed frequencies of the three alleles are: EsD1 = 0.856, EsD2 = 0.143 and EsD3 = 0.001. Studies of the pedigree of the propositus's EsD 3--1 family and mother-child combinations confirm an autosomal co-dominant i
The gene encoding human esterase D (EsD), a member of the nonspecific esterase family, is a useful genetic marker for retinoblastoma (RB) and Wilson's disease. Previously we identified a cDNA clone from this gene and determined its chromosomal location. In this report, we present the complete cDNA s
Dopamine β€-hydroxylase (E.C. 1.14.17.1; protein abbreviation: Dβ€H) catalyzes conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine. Previous work identified two expressed alleles of the gene encoding Dβ€H (locus symbol DBH), containing either G or T at nucleotide position 910, resulting in specification by codon
