Abstract：
:We have devised a zymogram method with high sensitivity and resolution for investigating molecular heterogeneity and genetic polymorphism of deoxyribonuclease I. A combination technique of polyacrylamide-gel isoelectric-focusing electrophoresis and the newly developed zymogram method have led to the discovery of genetic polymorphism of human serum DNase I. Family studies showed that the three common phenotypes--DNASE1 1, DNASE1 1-2, and DNASE1 2--and the other five relatively rare phenotypes--DNASE1 1-3, DNASE1 2-3, DNASE1 2-4, and DNASE1 3-4--represent homozygosity or heterozygosity for four autosomal codominant alleles, DNASE1 *1, DNASE1 *2, DNASE1 *3, and DNASE1 *4. The frequencies of DNASE1 *1, DNASE1 *2, DNASE1 *3, and DNASE1 *4 calculated in a Japanese population were .5517, .4358, .0104, and .0021, respectively. Moreover, it was found that urine and extracts of kidney, liver, and pancreas, as well as serum, can be used for DNase I phenotyping.
