Haptoglobin subtypes in a Bengalee population sample.
HP1 subtyping has been performed on a Bengalee population sample of heterogeneous caste composition. The total sample size comes to n = 140 nonrelated adult individuals (68 males, 72 females). The following allele frequencies were observed: HP*1F = 0.0714, HP*1S = 0.1178, and HP*2 = 0.8107. It can be pointed out that the HP subtype distribution pattern found in the Bengalee sample follows in general the Oriental distribution pattern, though some differences are seen, especially concerning the HP*1F frequency.
