title: Plasminogen (PLG) gene frequencies in the Iberian Peninsula: heterogeneity analysis.
abstract: The distribution of Plasminogen (PLG) phenotypes in five populations of Spain (Galicia, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla-León, Extremadura and Western Andalucia) is analysed by means of polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing and immunofixation. PLG*A frequencies, ranging from 0.7281 in Extremadura to 0.8038 in Castilla-León, are similar to those reported for other Southern populations of the European continent and higher than those in Northern and Central European populations. Heterogeneity analysis of the PLG allele distribution among different regions of the Iberian Peninsula have also been carried out.
