Investigation of the polymorphic ScaI site by a PCR-based assay at the human atrial natriuretic peptides (hANP) gene locus.
The ScaI polymorphic site within the stop codon of the human atrial natriuretic peptides (hANP) gene was investigated in Mauritian Indian, black African and French Caucasian populations. A distinct distribution pattern is observed in these three populations.
