title: [DNA polymorphism in a Brazilian population: relationship to allele frequencies in France].
abstract: The allele frequency distribution of two highly polymorphic DNA sequences was determined in a population from the metropolitan area of Fortaleza (Northeast Brazil). DNAs from 234 individuals were digested with Pvull and successively hybridized to each probe: alpha-Globin 3'HVR and Mucin HVR. The resulting allele frequencies were compared to those observed in a French population. There is no statistically significant difference between these populations in the 3'HVR system. On the contrary, the distribution is statistically different in the Mucin HVR/Pvull system.
