Abstract: | Summary The pro 2(I) collagen gene has been screened for Bgl II restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the Finnish population which has a long background of genetic isolation. As genetically isolated populations tend to demonstrate deviations in the degree of heterozygosity, the RFLP markers described in more heterogeneous populations can not be utilized as such in the former. This proved to be the case with Bgl II polymorphism within the pro 2(I) collagen gene, the gene involved in different disorders of connective tissue. This report describes the presence of three new RFLP-loci and the absence of one RFLP-locus, which had been earlier reported from a population with a genetic background remote from the population studied here. |
