Sequencing of the polymerase chain reaction amplified exon 2-4 fragment of the human porphobilinogen deaminase gene revealed a G/T polymorphism (I2G and I2T) in intron 2, and a G/A polymorphism (I3G and I3A) in intron 3 of the gene. The frequencies of these alleles are presented.

Structural defects in the human type 1 collagen genes are known to be the cause of several inherited disorders of connective tissue, such as osteogenesis imperfecta. The analysis and prenatal diagnosis of these disorders would be facilitated by establishing a set of polymorphic markers at these gene
Duchenne muscular dystrophy and its allelic disorder Becker muscular dystrophy are among the most common hereditary human pathologies (1:3500). Two thirds of the genomic alterations responsible for these diseases involve gross gene rearrangements such as deletions, and less frequently duplications.
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
