The C4 system: formal and population genetics. 1979

B Olaisen, and P Teisberg, and R Jonassen, and T Gedde-Dahl

The present study shows that the C4 system as investigated by high voltage agarose gel electrophoresis is highly polymorphic. In a series of unrelated Norwegian adults, where C4 types have been ascertained through segregation in families, six different haplotypes have been found to occur with a frequency exceeding 1%. The genotype frequencies in the population fit expected Hardy-Weinberg distribution. In family material comprising 89 matings with 327 children the distribution of offspring is as expected according to autosomal codominant inheritance of haplotypes.
