Abstract:
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.

01:05Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...
01:11Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
