Abstract excerpt
The polymorphism of the orosomucoid (ORM) system was analysed in 318 Cook Islanders. Modified isoelectric focusing revealed six-band patterns in thin-layer polyacrylamide gel followed by immunofixation. The first ORM locus showed four-band patterns with variations, while the second locus revealed two-band patterns without variation. ORM1*1 and ORM1*2 gene frequencies were 0.7893 and 0.2107 respectively. ORM1*3...
