Multiple restriction site polymorphism at the human somatostatin locus: a population study in Italy.

Three Italian populations were examined for a multiple restriction fragment length polymorphism tightly linked to the human somatostatin gene. No difference was observed between the three samples. The haplotype frequencies in Italy were found to be: SST ESBS = 0.836, SST ESBF = 0.072, SST EFBS = 0.091 and SST EFBF = 0.001.
