Further studies of salivary polymorphisms in the Japanese population.
The distributions of the phenotype and gene frequencies of nine polymorphic systems in human parotid and whole saliva were studied in the Japanese population of the eastern part of Japan and compared with those of populations in other areas of Japan and other ethnic groups. The gene frequencies were: Pa+ = 0.214; Pb1 = 1.000; Pr1 = 0.753; Db+ = 0.035; PmF+ = 0.394; Ph+ = 0.028; PIF+ = 0.733; Amy1V = 0.011, and s-AcpA = 0.217.
