Abstract excerpt
The phenotypic frequencies of group-specific component (Gc) and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (A2HS) were determined in White European, Asian and Afro-Caribbean populations. Typical allele frequencies were observed for Gc, with Gc 1S being the major allele for the first two groups and Gc 1F being the major allele for Afro-Caribbeans. For all groups the dominant A2HS allele was A2HS 1, although Asians had a...
