Abstract:
Haptoglobin subtypes were analysed by isoelectric focusing (IEF) in 5 regional populations from the East Midlands (United Kingdom). The allele frequencies showed a considerable variation at regional level. Allelic frequency ranges were HP*1S = 24-28%, HP*1F = 11-15%, HP*2FS 54-63%, HP*2SS = 0.5-6% and HP*2FF 0-1%. The data presented here suggest that HP subtypes provide a useful genetic marker for population studies and paternity testing.
