Human heterozygosity: A new estimate

Abstract

Several hundred polypeptides from four human diploid fibroblast cell lines were compared by high-resolution two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and double-label autoradiography under conditions where allelic products that differ by a single charged amino acid would be distinguished. The average heterozygosity represented by this set of gene products appears to be less than 1% for changes involving charged amino acids.
