title: Orosomucoid (ORM) typing by isoelectric focusing: an analysis of ORM haplotypes.
abstract: A new separator isoelectric focusing method for typing of orosomucoid (ORM) was developed. This method provided a superior resolution of ORM patterns: two close bands of ORM1*5.2 products were clearly separated. A total of 364 subjects from Okinawa (Japan) were classified into 21 ORM phenotypes determined by 6 ORM1 and 7 ORM2 alleles including a polymorphic silent allele, ORM2*QO, and 2 new rare variants, ORM2*18 and ORM2*19. These phenotypes were also explained by 12 ORM haplotypes, half of which were polymorphic.
