GC serum groups and otosclerosis.
Five genetic serum protein marker systems (HP, TF, GC, BF and PI) were studied in patients with otosclerosis and in controls. The distributions of GC phenotypes and alleles showed significant differences between patients and controls with an excess of the IF-allele and the IF-variant among the patients.
