Genetic polymorphism of human plasminogen (PLG) in a Chinese population.
The distribution of phenotypes and gene frequencies of the plasminogen were studied in 203 blood donors of the Han population, Chengdu, China using isoelectric focusing followed by immunofixation. The results were as follows: PLGA = 92.12%, PLGAM5 = 4.39%, PLGAB = 1.97%, PLGAB2 = 0.98%. Their gene frequencies were: PLG*A = 0.9606, PLG*M5 = 0.0246, PLG*B = 0.0099, PLG*B2 = 0.0049. This study implied that PLG*M5 might be the specific genetic marker of the Mongoloids.
