title: [Study of the Gc protein in several French population samples : genetic polymorphism by isoelectrofocusing and quantitative results].
abstract: The authors describe the results obtained in an examination by isoelectrofocusing of more than 1,000 serum samples from various regions in France. The autochthonous populations of the north side of the Pyrénées are characterized by a high frequency of the gene Gc2 and a very low frequency of the Gc1F gene. This distinguishes them from the other groups studied (southwestern, northwestern and eastern France). The quantitative analysis of the data emphasizes the difference. These results can only be explained by the interdependance of the genetic and metabolic factors.
