Haptoglobin polymorphism in Egyptians

Pages 385-387 | Received 17 Mar 1982, Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Summary

In 505 random serum samples from unrelated healthy genuine Egyptians, haptoglobin 2-2 phenotypes were most prevalent, though statistically were as common as haptoglobin 2-1 phenotypes. High inbreeding with average inbreeding coefficient of 0·0145 explains the deviation of Egyptian haptoglobin phenotypes from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Zusammenfassung

In 505 zufällig gezogenen Serumproben von unverwandten, gesunden, echten Ägyptern herrschte der Phänotyp Haptoglobin 2-2 am stärksten vor, obwohl er statistisch ebenso häufig war wie der Phänotyp Haptoglobin 2-1. Eine hohe Endogamie mit einem durchschnittlichen Inzuchtskoeffizienten von 0,0145 erklärt die Abweichung der ägyptischen Haptoglobin-Phänotypen vom Hardy-Weinberg-Gleichgewicht.

Résumé

Dans 505 échantillons de sérum prélevés au hasard chez des Egyptiens authentiques non apparentés en bonne santé, les phénotypes haptoglobine 2-2 étaient les plus fréquents, bien que statistiquement ils soient aussi communs que les phénotypes haptoglobine 2-1. Une consanguinité élevée avec un coefficient moyen de consanguinité de 0,0145 explique la déviation des phénotypes d'haptoglobine égyptiens de l'équilibre de Hardy-Weinberg.
