Orosomucoid (ORM1 and ORM2) types in the Spanish Basque Country, Galicia and northern Portugal.
The genetic variation of orosomucoid (ORM1 and ORM2) in three south-western European populations (Galicia, Spanish Basque Country and northern Portugal) was investigated using hybrid isoelectric focusing. Three common ORM1 alleles were observed in these populations, the frequencies of ORM1 *S observed in Galicia and northern Portugal being the highest found among populations of European origin. Rare variants were observed for both the ORM1 and ORM2 loci.
