...G. Beckman; C. Wennberg; A. Kivelä; J.L. Millán; C. Sikström Enzyme and DNA polymorphisms and haplotypes of tissue-specific alkaline phosphatase genes were studied in Finns, Saamis and Swedes. In placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), found after...

...C. Wennberg; C. Sikström Bell and Sstl restriction fragment length polymorphisms of human liver/bone/kidney or tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase were studied in population samples of Finns, Swedes and Swedish Saamis. No significant allele frequency differences were found between the three...

.... We here report on a Pst lrestriction fragment length polymorphism in IAP found in Finns and Swedes but not in Saamis. A probable T→G mutation in position 175 of intron 11 would create a new cleavage site for Pst I. The borderline frequency of the mutant allele (0.01) is in agreement with previous...

...C. Wennberg; V. Kucinskas The frequency of carriers of the ΔF508 mutation at the cystic fibrosis (CF) locus was studied in population samples of Finns, Lithuanians, Saamis (Lapps) and Swedes from northern Sweden. The carrier frequencies in northern Sweden (1:200) and in Lithuanians (1:143) were...

... the frequencies of the ORM1 alleles and previously studied Finnish and Saamish marker genes. The geographical variation of ORM1 alleles was in close agreement with the pattern expected from the known mixture of Finns, Saamis, and Swedes in northern Sweden and further underlines the impact of ethnic heterogeneity...

...Chaohong Fan; C. Sikström; G. Beckman; L. Beckman Genetic polymorphism of orosomucoid (ORM) was studied by isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting in Finns, Swedes and Swedish Saamis. The ORM2 locus was found to be monomorphic in all three ethnic groups. In the Swedish sample the frequency...

... paternity cases were: HP*1S: 0.22, HP*1F: 0.16, HP*2FS: 0.58, HP*2SS: 0.04, HP*2FF: 0.004, HP*3: 0.0004, other HP*α variants: 0.0004, HP*β variants: 0.0008. The corresponding gene frequencies in 153 unrelated Norwegian Saamis (Lapps) were: HP*1S: 0.19, HP*1F: 0.07, HP*2FS: 0.70, HP*2SS: 0.04. Norwegians...

...L.E. Beckman; K. Sjöberg; S. Eriksson; L. Beckman Frequencies of three different mutant haemochromatosis (HFE) alleles (282Tyr, 63Asp and 65Cys) were studied in three northern European populations, i.e. Finns, Swedes and Swedish Saamis. In Finns and Swedes the allele frequencies were within...
