Homozygous Hb J Tongariki: evidence for only one alpha chain structural locus in Melanesians
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|July 10, 1970
Abstract:
A high frequency of Hb J Tongariki (alpha 115 Ala --> Asp) was found in a Kilenge village in New Britain. Heterozygotes had 45 to 50 percent of the Hb J component (determined by cellulose acetate electrophoresis). Two homozygotes for Hb J had no Hb A, suggesting that in this family only one Hbalpha structural locus is present.
