Genetic polymorphism of factor H (HF, β1H globulin) in Chinese

Abstract

The polymorphism of factor H (HF, β1H globulin) was investigated in 296 unrelated Chinese individuals using isoelectric focusing followed by immunoblotting. The allele frequencies were HF^*A=0.433, HF^*B=0.488, HF^*Q0=0.062 and HF^*A1=0.017. The population data conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The distribution was almost similar to that for Japanese.
