Frequencies of the Haptoglobin Serum Groups among Blood Donors from Austria and Germany

Abstract

THE frequency of the gene Hp 1 among the European populations so far tested have shown only a slight deviation of 40 per cent (Table 1). Samples from Austria and Germany have hitherto not been examined. For our studies we used sera of 201 blood donors from Münster, Westphalia (Germany), 273 blood donors from Bavaria (three districts of Upper Bavaria)1, and sera of 621 blood donors from Vienna and environs (Austria).
