Abstract
The genetically determined polymorphism of human pancreatic amylase (E.C. 3.2.1.1), AMY2, is demonstrated in serum specimens by agarose gel electrophoresis. We investigated 325 mother-child pairs and 2594 unrelated individuals from southwestern Germany. This study confirms the formal hypothesis of two common alleles AMY1/2, AMY2/2 and possibly two rare alleles AMY3/2, AMY4/2 at an autosomal locus AMY2. The frequency of the AMY1/2 allele was calculated as 0.951; AMY3/2 and AMY4/2 seem to have a frequency of 0.001 in this sample.Entities:
