Summary
The distribution of the Hp subtypes (investigated by isoelectric focusing) in 1725 unrelated adults from Hamburg and surrounding areas is reported. Allelic frequencies: HP*1F = 0.1466, HP*1S = 0.2466, HP*2FF = 0.0040, HP*2FS = 0.5724, HP*2SS = 0.0301. The exclusion efficiency in 230 paternity cases is discussed.
Zusammenfassung
Die Hp-Phänotypenverteilung (untersucht mittels IEF) in Hamburg und Umgebung wird mitgeteilt (N = 1725 nicht verwandte Personen). Allelfrequenz: HP*1F = 0,1466, HP*1S = 0,2466, HP*2FF = 0,0040, HP*2FS = 0,5724, HP*2SS = 0,0301. Bei 230 Vaterschaftsausschlüssen wird die Effektivität der Hp-Subtypisierung dargestellt.
