Summary
The phenotypes of C3 and of Tf were determined in 818 and 576, respectively, unrelated individuals living in Liege. The gene frequencies observed are:
C3S: | 0.811 | C3F: | 0.186 | C3Var: | 0.003 |
TfC: | 0.990 | TfB: | 0.007 | TfD: | 0.003 |
The application to disputed paternity cases and to the study of twins is discussed.
Zusammenfassung
Die Bestimmung der C3 — und Tf — Phänotypen bei 818, beziehungsweise 576, Einwohnern von Liege (Belgien) ergab folgende Genfrequenzen:
C3S: | 0.811 | C3F: | 0.186 | C3Var: | 0.003 |
TfC: | 0.990 | TfB: | 0.007 | TfD: | 0.003 |
Die Verwendung dieser Gruppen in der Vaterschaftsbegutachtung und bei Zwillingenuntersuchungen wird diskutiert.
