This study identified six transferrin (Tf) subtypes in the Polish population using isoelectric focusing. The observed Tf subtype frequencies align with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicating genetic stability.

Area of Science:

Genetics
Population Genetics
Biochemistry

Background:

Transferrin (Tf) is a key iron transport protein in the blood.
Understanding Tf subtype distribution is crucial for population genetics and forensic science.
Previous studies have characterized Tf polymorphism in various ethnic groups.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the frequency of transferrin subtypes in a Polish population sample.
To analyze the genetic distribution of Tf alleles and subtypes.
To assess the genetic equilibrium of the Tf system in this population.

Main Methods:

Isoelectric focusing (IEF) on thin-layer polyacrylamide gel was employed for Tf subtyping.
A mixture of ampholine buffers covering three pH ranges was used for optimal separation.

A sample of 361 unrelated subjects from the Polish population was analyzed.

Main Results:

Six distinct transferrin subtypes were identified.
The subtypes were dependent on three codominant alleles: Tfcc1, Tfcc2, and Tfcc3.
Allele frequencies were recorded as Tfcc1 (0.744), Tfcc2 (0.212), and Tfcc3 (0.044).

Conclusions:

The transferrin subtype profile of the Polish population was characterized.
The observed allele frequencies suggest a stable Tf genetic system.
The Tf system in the Polish population is in good agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principles.
