Abstract

A simple and practical method of detecting AHSG using isoelectric focusing on dry gels is described. The procedure is both rapid and provides reliable results. AHSG phenotypes were determinated in 215 unrelated individuals from Northern Bavaria. The allele frequencies obtained were: AHSG*1 = 0.7139, AHSG*2 = 0.2697 and AHSG*3 = 0.0164.
