Age group-associated variations in the pattern of Hp type distribution in Jordanians.

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between haptoglobin (Hp) type and life expectancy was investigated by determining the pattern of Hp type distribution in 790 unrelated Jordanians divided into four age groups: A (1-19 years), B (20-39 years), C (40-59 years) and D (60-85 years). While the frequency of Hp 2-2 gradually decreased from 0.576 in A to 0.393 in D, the frequency of Hp 2-1 gradually increased from 0.348 in A to 0.526 in...
