Simultaneous subtyping of Gc and TfC by isoelectric focusing allows us to compute the following gene frequencies for the Belgian population: Gc1S = 0.543 Gc1F = 0.167 Gc2 = 0.290 TfC1 = 0.784 TfC2 = 0.206 TfB = 0.007 TfD = 0.003. The Gc bands were precipitated by sulfosalicylic acid instead of by im

β¦ Synopsis
A sample of 450 sera from unrelated individuals from Southern Germany was examined by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gels. Three common subtypes, TfC1, C2-1, and C2, were differentiated. In addition, the rare variants TfB1, B1-2, B2, D1, D1-2, D2, and D3 were observed. The frequencies of the Tf alleles in our sample were found to be: Tf c~= 0.8544, Tf c2 = 0,1367, Tf m = 0.0011, Tf m-2 = 0.0022, Tf B2 = 0.0045, and Tf TM = 0.0011. Analysis of 73 parents with 73 children did not show deviations from the expected mode of inheritance. Modification of the method by addition of 0.01 M FeC13 to the sera prior to examination did, however, reveal further variation and permitted the distinction of six subtypes, C1, C2-1, C2, C3, C3-1, and C3-2.

TransferrinC (TfC) subtypes were determined by isoelectric focusing (PAGIF) on samples from 90 carriers of the TFB and TfD alleles. In all cases of CB and CD heterozygotes only one of the two common subtypes of the TfC allele, TfC1 or TfC2, was observed. This is considered strong support for the hyp
