title: Isoelectric focusing of superoxide dismutase: report of the unique SOD A*2 allele in a US white population.
abstract: An isoelectric focusing procedure in an ultranarrow pH range (5.0-5.5) polyacrylamide gel is described for the determination of superoxide dismutase (SOD) phenotypes. The occurrence of the rare SOD A*2 allele in the Caucasian population of Utah is also reported at a polymorphic frequency (0.011). The presence of the SOD A 2 unique allele in the Mormons of Utah is compatible with their historical affinity with Scandinavians.
