Abstract:
The single locus probes MS 1, MS 8, MS 31 and MS 43 were investigated in combination with the restriction enzyme HINF I. The frequency distribution of fragment sizes detected by the polymorphic probe MS 8 was plotted for individuals from the Münster area and compared with an English survey. Clear discrepancies were found. The heterozygosity for the four systems was calculated and compared to the English figures. Only MS 8 showed a significant difference.
