Abstract
In a Finnish family a silent allele was found in the transferrin (Tf) system. As determined by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting, the Tf type of the father was CD, the mother C, and the child D. The serum Tf concentration in grandmother, mother, and child was less than 50% of normal.Keywords
