title: Pepsinogens: genetic polymorphism in man.
abstract: Population frequencies of the two patterns of pepsinogen excretion (with and without pepsinogen 5) and family studies indicate that pepsinogen 5 is controlled by a pair of genes, Pg(a) and Pg(b), at a single autosomal locus and that Pg(a) is dominant.
