    Transferrin phenotypes (CC and CD) were studied in healthy donors and malignancy patients. No correlation was found with caste or community, but a B2C phenotype was noted in Hodgkin

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Human Genetics
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Transferrin is a key iron-transporting protein in serum.
    • Transferrin phenotypes can vary within human populations.
    • Understanding these variations is important for genetic and clinical studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate transferrin phenotypes in a healthy population across different communities.
    • To explore potential associations between transferrin phenotypes and malignancy.
    • To identify any specific transferrin variants linked to certain diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Vertical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used for phenotype analysis.
    • Serum samples from 200 healthy blood donors were analyzed.
    • Serum samples from 102 malignancy patients were also examined.

    Main Results:

    • In healthy donors, 196 exhibited the common CC phenotype, and 4 showed the CD phenotype.
    • No correlation was found between transferrin phenotypes and religious community or caste.
    • In malignancy cases, no phenotype-disease link was observed, except for a B2C phenotype in Hodgkin's disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Transferrin phenotype distribution in the healthy population is not influenced by caste or community.
    • Transferrin phenotype is generally not associated with most types of malignancy.
    • A specific B2C transferrin phenotype may be associated with Hodgkin's disease.
