Abstract:
Summary A sensitive immunodetection method for Alpha-2-HS glycoprotein (AHSG) after ultrathin layer polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing has been applied to a family study of 126 matings including 292 offspring. Formal genetic studies are in agreement with an autosomal mode of inheritance for this system. A population study of 506 unrelated individuals from Galicia (NW Spain) gave the following frequencies: AHSG*1= 0.7559 and AHSG*2 = 0.2441, which correspond to a exclusion chance for non-fathers of 0.1505.
