Title: A homozygote for a serum albumin variant of the fast type. Author: Vanzetti G, Porta F, Prencipe L, Scherini A, Fraccaro M. Journal: Hum Genet; 1979 Jan 19; 46(1):5-9. PubMed ID: 429006. Abstract: A healthy, 10-year-old male born in Milano to a family from Southern Italy (Puglia) was found to be a homozygote for an albumin variant of the fast type. His parents are half-first cousins. Their common grandfather, the parents, one sister, and three brothers of the child were all heterozygotes for the same albumin variant. This seems to be the first case of a homozygote for a fast albumin variant described in Europe.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
