Abstract
The results of a large screening for the transferrin polymorphism in five different areas of Italy (3099 cases) are given. Frequencies of common types were similar to those of already known Caucasian populations. Among rare types TfB were more frequently observed than TfD. Evidence is given for the existence of the TfC6 allele in Caucasians. A family group analysis of some rare types was done.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
