description

Phenotype and gene frequencies of the ceruloplasmin polymorphism are reported. In all populations considered here (Germans, Icelanders, Iranians, Pakistani, and Koreans) high frequencies of the allele CpB (0.978–0.996) could be observed, whilst the frequencies of the alleles CpA (0.003–0.013) and CpC (0.000–0.013) are very low.
