We report a method to analyze a RsaI polymorphism within the human growth hormone promoter gene using the polymerase

chain reaction. PCR Primers: The primer sequences corresponded to both normal human growth hormone gene (GH1) and the variable human growth hormone gene (GH2), including their promoter regions. 5' AGAGAGGCAAAGTTGGGTGGTA 3' sense oligo antisense oligo 5' GGTCACAGGGATGCCACC 3' Polymorphism: The digestion with RsaI (GTAC) produces various fragments proceeding from the two amplified genes. Two of the fragments are very similar in the number of base pairs, therefore a second digestion with BglII (AGATCT) is necessary to be able to differentiate them. BglII is not polymorphic in this region. The polymorphic fragments obtained are from GH 1 and are GI = 1080 bp + 178 bp and G2 = 1258 bp. Constant fragments: (GH1) - 283 bp, 191 bp, 75 bp and (GH2) - 898 bp, 728 bp, 191 bp. Fragments
