title: [Amylase 2 phenotypes in Central Hessia and value in paternity assessment].
abstract: In 677 unrelated persons from the Central Hessian region, the following distribution of amylase 2 phenotypes was found: type 1 in 89.22%, type 2-1 in 8.57%, type 2 in 0.30%. The special bands 3 and 4 could be detected in 0.59% and the new bands F1-6 (on the anodal side of the 1 band) we have described could be demonstrated in 1.33%. In 244 cases, paternity could be excluded on the basis of amylase 2 in seven cases (i.e. 2.9%); this was a classic exclusion in six cases. In the biostatistical calculation of the probability of paternity, this enzyme system provides probabilities which justify routine determination of amylase 2.
