Genetic serum protein markers (HP, TF, GC, PI) in three population samples from Thuringia (Germany); Jena, Erfurt and Suhl

Abstract

Haptoglobin (HP), transferrin (TF), group specific component (GC) and protease inhibitor (PI) polymorphisms were studied in three population samples from Thuringia: Jena, n=204; Erfurt, n=213; Suhl, n=180. GC and in particular TF allele frequencies show some statistically significant distribution heterogeneity, whereas HP and PI allele frequencies do not show any remarkable distribution differences. The results are discussed and compared with those obtained previously on other population samples from the eastern parts of Germany.
