Summary

A slow albumin allotype was found in a blood donor. The albumin locus-Gc system relationship is confirmed by family studies. There seems to be no association with pathological manifestations among the 16 subjects bearing this factor in simple dose. One of the individuals possesses the slow allele in double dose, a fact which would be the first case of such a cathodic albumin variety.

Résumé

Un allotype lent de l'albumine a été trouvé chez un donneur de sang. L'étude familiale confirme la liaison du locus de l'albumine et du système Gc. Parmi les 16 sujets porteurs du trait en simple dose, aucune manifestation pathologique ne semble associée. L'un des individus porte l'allèle lent en double dose, ce qui serait le premier cas d'une telle variété cathodique de l'albumine.

Zusammenfassung

Bei einem Blutspender wurde ein langsamer Allotyp des Albumins gefunden. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Albumin-Locus und Gc-System wurde durch Familien-studien bestätigt. Bei 16 Patienten, Träger dieses Faktors in einfacher Dosis, scheint keine Beziehung zu pathologischen Beziehungen zu bestehen. Eine der Personen besitzt das langsame Allel in doppelter Dosis, was der erste Fall einer solchen kathodischen Albumin-Varietät wäre.
