Abstract
A TRANSFERRIN variant with an electrophoretic mobility identical to that of Tf DChi is found among the Finns in a frequency of 0.0116 (ref. 1). Because Tf DChi is characteristic of Mongoloids and is not found among Caucasoid populations other than Finns, its presence suggests some Mongoloid influence in the genetic make-up of the Finns.
