title: Serum protein polymorphisms in four populations of Afghanistan.
abstract: Gene frequencies of the serum proteins third component of complement (C3) transferrin (Tf), haptoglobin (Hp), group specific component (Gc), serum cholinesterase (E1), alpha1-antitrypsin (Pi), beta2-glycoprotein I (Bg), and ceruloplasmin (Cp) in the Tajiks, Pushtoons, Hazaras, and Usbeks in Afghanistan were reported. Rare variants were observed in the C3, Tf, and Pi systems.
