Genetic serum protein markers (HP, TF, GC and PI) in eight Slovakian population samples
1194 individuals from eight different regions of Slovakia have been typed for haptoglobin (HP) types and for transferrin (TF), group specific component (GC) and alpha-1-antitrypsin (PI) subtypes. Whereas the HP allele frequencies do not show a remarkable regional variability within Slovakia, this could be demonstrated concerning the TF, GC and PI allele frequencies. The reason for these distribution heterogeneities seems to be due to the incomple…

Genetic studies in Medzev, an isolate in South-Eastern Slovakia. 1. History, demography, marriage patterns
In Medzev, a village located in South-Eastern Slovakia, the secular variation of two indices of genetic isolation has been studied. It could be seen that this village was highly isolated till the beginning of the 20th century. Both indices show a tendency to increase in the first five decades of this century. For the entire period from 1766-1950 the coefficient of inbreeding estimated by the method of isonymy was found to be F = 0.0074 with diffe…
Genetic studies in Medzev, an isolate in South-Eastern Slovakia. 2. Distribution of blood group genetic markers
