Haptoglobin groups and leukemia.
Haptoglobin groups were studied in 100 leukemia patients and controls. Previously reported associations with Hp1-1 and the Hp1 gene by other investigators were not confirmed. In agreement with a previous observation a significant increase of ahaptoglobinemia (Hp0) was found among the leukemia patients.
