Distribution of transferrin saturations in the African-American population.

Blood - 15 Mar 1998

Abstract excerpt

To determine if transferrin saturations in African Americans may reflect the presence of a gene that influences iron metabolism, we analyzed the distribution of these values in 808 African Americans from the second National Health and Nutrition Survey. We tested for a mixture of three normal distributions consistent with population genetics for a major locus effect in which the proportion of normal homozygotes is...
