Abstract
THE haptoglobin serum groups are Mendelian characteristics of normal people as are blood groups. Two common genes, Hp 1 and Hp 2, have been found and their frequencies in all white peoples studied have been about 0.4 and 0.6 respectively1–7. Gene Hp 2 seems to be much rarer in Negroes than in Whites1,5.
