Abstract
Group-specific component (GC), transferrin (TF) and α-1-antitrypsin (PI) polymorphisms have been studied in the Basque population of Alava. The following gene frequencies were found: GC*1S = 0.525, GC*1F = 0.109, GC*2 = 0.366; TF*C1 = 0.793, TFC*2 = 0.171, TF*C3 = 0.032, TF*B = 0.003; PI*M1 = 0.611, PI*M2 = 0.164, PI*M3 = 0.101, PI*M4 = 0.019, PI*S = 0.101, PI*T = 0.003, PI*Z = 0.002. These results show that there is heterogeneity within the Basque population. In comparison with other populations from the Iberian Peninsula, the Basques from Alava show significant differences only for the PI system.Keywords
