Orosomucoid (ORM) typing by isoelectric focusing: description of two new alleles in a German population and thermostability in bloodstains

The genetic polymorphism of serum orosomucoid (ORM) was studied in 168 unrelated German individuals using isoelectric focusing followed by immunoprinting. Two new alleles, tentatively designated ORM1*14 and ORM2*13, were identified. The method was successfully applied to demonstrate ORM1 types in dried bloodstains. Each type of ORM1 was also correctly determined in bloodstains heated at 130 degrees C for 30 min. The results indicated that ORM1 is a new powerful genetic marker system for the grouping of bloodstains.     

Genetic polymorphism of the B subunit of coagulation factor XIII in Libyans: occurrence of a fourth common allele, FXIIIB*6

FXIIIB phenotypes were determined in neuraminidase-pretreated serum samples by using isoelectric focusing in ultrathin-layer polyacrylamide gels containing 1 M urea and subsequent immunoblotting. In a Libyan population sample from Tripoli, (n = 108) nine different phenotypes as products of four common alleles were recognized, with frequencies as follows: FXIIIB*1 = 0.6574, FXIIIB*2 = 0.2454, FXIIIB*3 = 0.0741 and FXIIIB*6 = 0.0231. It is suggested that FXIIIB*6 is the fourth common allele of the FXIIIB system in this population.     

Genetic polymorphism of human C1R subcomponent of the first complement component in the Japanese population

Genetic polymorphism of the C1R subcomponent of human complement component C1 has been investigated in neuraminidase treated EDTA plasma samples of 440 healthy Japanese individuals living in Tokyo by means of thin-layer polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing (PAGIEF) at pH 3.5-9.5 in the presence of 8.0 M urea followed by an electroblotting with enzyme immunoassay. Three common and three rare alleles were detected in the Japanese population. Of these, two common alleles were identical to C1R*1 and C1R*2 and other new alleles were tentatively designated C1R*3, C1R*4, C1R*5 and C1R*6, respectively. The results of the family studies suggested that the genetic model for C1R polymorphism assumed autosomal codominant Mendelian inheritance. The allele frequencies were estimated as C1R*1 = 0.4216, C1R*2 = 0.3602, C1R*3 = 0.2068, C1R*4 = 0.0091 and C1R*R(C1R*5 and C1R*6) = 0.0023, respectively. The distribution of allotypes fitted the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The C1R system provides a useful genetic marker for human genetics, anthropologic studies and forensic science.

Red cell phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) subtypes in Egyptians

The polymorphism of the human red cell phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) in samples from Egyptians (n = 134) was investigated using isoelectric focusing in thin-layer polyacrylamide gel. In the studied population samples nine common phenotypes were observed, and the calculated frequencies for the genes PGM1+1, PGM1-1, PGM2+1 and PGM2-1 were 0.6381, 0.0821, 0.2201 and 0.0597, respectively. The observed and expected phenotypes provide a good fit to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The four alleles system will increase the probability of excluding a man falsely accused of paternity to 30% as compared with 16% if the two alleles system is used.

C6 phenotyping in sera and bloodstains by isoelectric focusing followed by electroimmunoblotting

The genetic polymorphism of C6 was investigated in 329 unrelated Japanese individuals using isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels followed by an electroimmunoblotting technique. Besides six common phenotypes C6 A, AB, B, AB2, BB2 and B2, six rare variants were observed. The allele frequencies were: C6*A = 0.4422, C6*B = 0.4757, C6*B2 = 0.0714, C6*A3 = 0.0015, C6*M1 = 0.0046 and C6*B3 = 0.0046. The population data confirmed that the C6*B2 allele is the third common allele characterizing Japanese. The present electroimmunoblotting technique was applied to demonstrate C6 types in dried bloodstains. The C6 types were determined from bloodstains stored at 4 degrees C for up to 10 weeks, at room temperature for up to 2 weeks and at 37 degrees C for up to 4 days. The results show that this component system offers a new powerful means for the medico-legal grouping of bloodstains.

The occurrence of PGM₁ phenotypes in 589 samples from the population of Padua was investigated by ultrathin-layer isoelectric focusing. All ten phenotypes were observed. Frequencies of the PGM₁ alleles (1+ = 0.6180; 1? = 0.1163; 2+ = 0.2122; 2? = 0.0535) have been compared to those found in other populations.     

Transferrin polymorphism detected in human urine using isoelectric focusing followed by immunoblotting

Genetic polymorphism of transferrin (TF) was revealed in human urine by isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting on thin-layer polyacrylamide gels. Using this technique more than 300 urine samples were examined, and correct TF typing from a small volume of urine (approx. 0.5 ml) was achieved, in comparison with the results of direct grouping for plasma. Three common phenotypes, TF C1, C2-1 and C2, were differentiated. In addition, the rare types TF C1D, C2D, and C1B were observed. The frequencies of the TF alleles in our samples were found to be: TF*C1 = 0.7265, TF*C2 = 0.2624, TF*D = 0.0083 and TF*B = 0.0028.     

Polymorphism of EsD by isoelectric focusing: description of the new allele EsD*Kofu and phenotyping in bloodstains

The polymorphism of EsD was investigated in 1115 unrelated Japanese individuals by isoelectric focusing. Besides the three common phenotypes two heterozygotes EsD 7-1 and EsD 7-2 were observed. The gene frequencies were: EsD*1 = 0.6234, EsD*2 = 0.3663, and EsD*7 = 0.0103. In addition, a rare variant was detected in a probandus living in the city of Kofu. The family analysis suggested the hereditary occurrence of a new allele EsD*Kofu. The isoelectric focusing method was successfully applied to phenotyping EsD in bloodstains; each phenotype was demonstrated at 37 degrees C for up to 2 weeks, at room temperature for up to 9 weeks, and at 4 degrees C for over 20 weeks after stain formation.     

Forensic application of the polymorphism of coagulation factor XIIIB

Gene frequencies of coagulation factor XIIIB polymorphism were determined in a random population sample of east Westphalia (n = 417). Furthermore, mendelian inheritance of alleles was examined in 60 families. Determinations were made after treatment of serum samples with neuraminidase by immunofixation on agarose gels. All six phenotypes were observed in our population sample. The gene frequencies were: FXIIIB1 = 0.71, FXIIIB2 = 0.11, FXIIIB3 = 0.18. The family data confirm the hypothesis of autosomal inheritance of three common alleles and disprove the two-allele model of Kera et al. [5].
