title: Study on the variability of seven genetic serum protein markers in Corsica (France).
abstract: By this investigation we want to contribute to our knowledge on the genetic characteristics of the Corsican population. The distribution of seven genetic serum protein markers (PI, TF, GC, ORM, HP, C3, PLG) was analyzed in a sample of 291 individuals coming from the central and northern areas of Corsica, i.e. from Corte and Bastia. The two samples do not show significant differences in the distribution of the genetic markers under study. The comparisons with other Mediterranean populations confirm the results of previous investigations on genetic red cell enzyme markers (Vona et al. 1995), i.e. a relatively high genetic heterogeneity of Corsicans compared with other Mediterranean populations.
