Abstract:
The polymorphism of alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG, alpha 2HS) was analysed in a sample of New Zealanders consisting of 194 New Zealand Europeans and 236 New Zealand Maori. Thin layer polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing followed by immunofixation revealed four different AHSG phenotypes in New Zealand Europeans and three different AHSG phenotypes in New Zealand Maori. The AHSG*2 frequency of 0.695 for the New Zealand Maori population was found to be one of the highest reported for any population. AHSG*2 appears to be a useful genetic marker for Maori in anthropological studies.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
