Summary
We have cloned part of theETS 1 proto-oncogene and demonstrated the presence of two polymorphic Sst I restriction sites. A probe derived from one of our clones revealed the presence of 8.3 kb, 9.5 kb and/or 11.5 kb fragments on Southern blots of human DNA samples. The relative frequencies of these alleles appear to be significantly different between Saudi and Western populations, but there are no apparent differences in these frequencies between Saudi non-leukemic and leukemic individuals.
