Group-specific component subtypes in the population of Tasmania, Australia.
Plasma specimens from 2,010 blood donors resident throughout the island State of Tasmania, Australia, were examined for group-specific component (GC) sub-types using polyacrylamide gel iso-electric focusing. Subdivision of the island into 8 geographic regions revealed no significant heterogeneity. Comparison of GC allele frequencies with those reported in mainland Australian populations indicated that Tasmanian values lie well within the ranges previously reported.
