Serum protein polymorphisms in selected areas of West Bengal, India.
Serum proteins like haptoglobins and transferrin and total protein types were determined in healthy donors from West Bengal, with different levels of industrialisation and urbanisation, by disc gel electrophoresis. The frequency of the allele Hp2 was much higher in all the areas. A highly significant difference was observed between industrial and agricultural areas. However, the differences among the industrial districts were not significant except between the districts of Howrah and 24-Parganas.
