Summary. Pigs from four Danish and two Swedish populations were examined for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) at the growth hormone (GH) gene. Polymorphism was detected with the restriction enzymes Dra 1 and Taq 1. A comparison of the Danish populations showed significant differences among their allelic frequencies.
