title: Dimorphic markers for the human apolipoprotein CII gene locus.
abstract: Two restriction-site polymorphisms (RSP) have been detected when using a human apolipoprotein CII (apoCII) cDNA clone as a hybridization probe. These include a BanI and a TaqI RSP. Frequencies of the more common allele have been determined in a German population of 100 individuals and are 0.66 (BanI RSP) and 0.56 (TaqI RSP). Corresponding polymorphic information content (PIC) values are 0.36 and 0.37 for individual sites, and 0.58 for the BanI-TaqI pair of sites, making this locus a very informative (PIC-rich) marker for this region of chromosome 19. Haplotype studies also indicate the presence of allelic association (linkage disequilibrium) at the human apoCII gene locus.
