Group-specific component (GC) and transferrin (TF) subtypes in psoriatic patients.

Frequency of occurrence of TFC and GC subtypes and determining genes was evaluated in 90 and 68 nonrelated psoriatic patients, respectively. The obtained distributions of frequencies were compared with those recorded in healthy population. No statistically significant differences were observed.

[Examination of the correlation between transferrin C and atopic dermatitis].

Transferrin subtypes are considered to be some of genetic markers which can correlate with the incidence of certain diseases. The present study was designed to find out whether such a correlation is true for atopic dermatitis. Transferrin C subtypes (Tf CI, Tf C2, Tf C3) in blood serum were determined by the method of isoelectric focussing in polyacrylamide gel.
