Summary
The distribution of human factor H of serum phenotypes were studied using ultrathin polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing (PA-GIEF) and subsequent immunoblotting techniques in 203 Chinese of Han population in Liaoning Province of northeast China. The gene frequencies of HF*A and HF*B were 0.4828 and 0.5172, respectively. All the observed numbers of the phenotypes were in agreement with the expected numbers under the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The gene frequencies among Chinese, Japanese, and Caucasian populations were compared.
