title: [Quantitative study of the genetics of haptoglobin levels].
abstract: A quantitative study, based on several African and Pyrenean populations led to the estimate of the effect of some factors on haptoglobin rate: it shows an influence of age and electrophoretic phenotype, but no apparent effect of sex. Moreover, this study led to the conclusion that there is heritability of haptoglobin rate.
