  • Observed frequency of minor allele based on genotyping at least 50 samples from unrelated individuals; (N.D.) not determined

  • Nucleotide position in the cDNA (GenBank accession no.L25541), designating the first nucleotide of the start codon as position 1.

  • Previously reported (Pulkkinen et al. (1995).

  • Located 52 nucleotides from the end of exon 9.

  • Offset with respect to boundary of exon 6 of HSD11 (GenBank accession no. M76665).
