Genetic serum protein markers (HP, GC, TF, PI) in four Turkish population samples

  • Published:
International Journal of Anthropology

Abstract

Four population samples from different regions of Turkey (Thracia, Karadeniz Bölgesi, West Anatolia and East Anatolia) with a total of 338 individuals have been typed for haptoglobin (HP) and for group specific component (GC), transferrin (TF) and alpha1-antitrypsin (PI) subtype polymorphisms. The allele frequencies show some regional differences, which, however, are statistically insignificant. In general the Turkish HP, GC, TF and PI allele frequencies do not differ obviously from those observed in other populations of Caucasoid origin.
