Abstract:
In a Portuguese family, a null allele was found in the Pi system. An apparent 'exclusion' of the mother was found to be due to the presence of null alleles in mother and child. A transferrin (Tf) null allele was found in a case of disputed paternity. The mother and putative father were heterozygous for Tf null alleles and the child was homozygous (TfQ0) and presented hypotransferrinemia.
