Genetic polymorphisms of orosomucoid and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein in a Philippine population.
A Philippine population was investigated for genetic polymorphism of orosomucoid 1 (ORM1), orosomucoid 2 (ORM2), and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (A2HS) by isoelectric focusing. The allele frequencies were: ORM1*1 = 0.7904, ORM1*2 = 0.1687, ORM1*2.1 = 0.0409, ORM2*1 = 1.0000; A2HS*1 = 0.6870, A2HS*2 = 0.3130. Compared with the Japanese population, the Philippine population has higher frequencies of ORM1*1 and A2HS*2, and lower frequencies of ORM1*2.1 and A2HS*1.
