Abstract
A βNEWβ slow-moving variant of serum albumin has been found in members of a single family of Irish descent from the vicinity of Gainesville, Florida1. We have demonstrated that the electrophoretic mobility of albumin Gainesville is different from the mobilities of previously reported slow-moving albumins2β5, and have provided evidence to support the hypothesis of linkage between the albumin and Gc loci6,7.
