Type distribution and allele frequencies of three serum proteins in the Asiago Plateau population (northern Italy).

Historical studies on the Asiago Plateau have pointed to the peculiarity of its inhabitants in terms of their socio-cultural development marked by long periods of linguistic and cultural isolation. The present research on some serum protein markers (TF, GC and HP) aims to establish whether this isolation may have caused this population to become different from the others in terms of gene frequencies. For this purpose, transferrin (TF), group-specific component (GC) and human haptoglobin (HP) polymorphisms were studied in 435 subjects. GC and HP were found to be within the range of variation known for the Italian Peninsula.

Genetic polymorphism of C3 in the Veneto population, Italy.

The distribution of C3 phenotypes in the population of Veneto was investigated by electrophoresis on agarose gel. In our sample (n = 810) the three common phenotypes C3 SS, C3 FF and C3 FS and a further phenotype, C3 S-VF, were observed. The following gene frequencies could be calculated: C3S = 0.8068, C3F = 0.1926 and C3V = 0.0006. These frequencies have been compared with those found in other populations. The analysis of 21 mother-child pairs was in agreement with an autosomal codominant inheritance.
