Summary
Using high-voltage agarose gel electrophoresis and immunofixation a very slow BF variant was detected in a Japanese person living in Yamanashi district. The family analysis suggested the hereditary occurrence of a new allele, BF*S085.
Zusammenfassung
Mittels Hochspannungs-Agarosegelelektrophorese und Immunfixation wurde eine sehr langsam wandernde BF-Variante bei einer im Bezirk Yamanashi lebenden japanischen Person gefunden. Die Familienanalyse zeigte das Vorkommen eines neuen Allels, BF*S085, und dessen Erblichkeit.
