A homozygote for a serum albumin variant of the fast type
Human Genetics
|January 19, 1979
Abstract:
A healthy, 10-year-old male born in Milano to a family from Southern Italy (Puglia) was found to be a homozygote for an albumin variant of the fast type. His parents are half-first cousins. Their common grandfather, the parents, one sister, and three brothers of the child were all heterozygotes for the same albumin variant. This seems to be the first case of a homozygote for a fast albumin variant described in Europe.
