Summary
Hybridization of albumin clones cDNA with human DNAs digested by several restriction endonucleases reveals two Hae III polymorphisms. The first polymorphism, H1, is of low frequency (f 1=0.05); the second, which is validated by family analysis, occurs frequently (f 2=0.21) and is an intronic polymorphism, probably of substitution—base type.
