Group-specific component (gc) polymorphism in japanese: an investigation on the phenotypic distribution with regard to thegc j allele

SUMMARY Using the prolonged immunoelectrophoresis, Gc determination was performed in 1,347 plasma collected from 3 local populations in Japan. Six phenotypes determined by the codominant

alleles,_Gc_ 1,_Gc_ 2 and_Gc_ J, were observed, in which a new phenotype GcJ-J was included. This study revealed the presence of at least 3 polymorphic alleles at Gc locus in Japanese

population. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS RAPID DETECTION OF PHENOTYPES BOMBAY _SE__DEL_ AND NONSECRETOR RS200157007 SNP (302C > T) BY REAL-TIME PCR-BASED METHODS Article Open
