The genetic polymorphism of four serum proteins (PI, GC, HP, and TF) is analyzed in a sample of 200 unrelated individuals from the province of Siena, Tuscany, central Italy. Siena is traditionally divided into 17 Contrade, that act as social units. The aim of this report is to ascertain whether this

โฆ Synopsis
The distribution of PLG phenotypes in the population of Tuscany (Central Italy) has been investigated by means of isoelectric focusing followed by immunofixation of desialyzed sera. In a random sample of 383 unrelated healthy blood donors registered at the Hospital of Pisa, three common phenotypes, PLG A, A-B, and B, and two rare variants were found. The allele frequencies calculated in our study were: PLG*A = 0.6749, PLG*B = 0.3225, and PLG*rare = 0.0026. The theoretical exclusion rate in cases of disputed paternity is 17.42%.

The distribution of the human red cell esterase D (EsD) "extended" polymorphism in a population sample from Tuscany (Italy) was studied using agarose gel isoelectric focusing. The estimated gene frequencies were: EsD\*1 0.864, EsD\*2 0.115, EsD\*5 0.021. The EsD\*5 allele frequency is very similar t
