Abstract

The genetic polymorphism of alpha 2 HS-glycoprotein (A2HS) was studied in continental Italy (Rome and L'Aquila) and in Sardinia (Cagliari). The two continental populations did not differ significantly in the A2HS gene distribution, whereas the Sardinian population showed an A2HS*1 frequency significantly higher than in continental Italy.
