Abstract
THE new serum type system Lp1 is a useful genetic marker system, the frequency of the Lpa gene being approximately 0.18 in Caucasians2,3 and test reagents unrestrictedly available. Concerning the serum type system Inv (refs. 4 and 5), test reagents have been relatively difficult to obtain, but are now increasingly available5–8. The established Inva or Inv1a gene frequencies, 0.06–0.10 in Caucasians and considerably higher in other populations, would indicate common use of this marker system in the future. This pre-supposes the elucidation of the genetics of this system, including analysis of linkage relationships. This communication provides data on the Inv–Lp linkage relation.
