Genetic variants of transferrin in the diagnosis of protein hypoglycosylation.

Abstract excerpt

Human transferrin (Tf) shows genetic polymorphisms, which may interfere in the screening of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG). Isoelectric focusing followed by direct immunofixation was used for Tf analysis in controls and several groups of patients. Equivocal results in one case have been recognized as a rare Tf CD variant. A higher incidence of some genetic variants has been reported in connection...
