This article presents the results obtained by electrophoretic analysis of the group specific component polymorphism in more than 1,250 serum samples from populations living in the Sahara, the Middle East, and equatorial Africa. In addition to the alleles Gc IF and Gc IS , five variants, including one previously unknown, were found. The distribution of the alleles herein described permits speculation on exchanges and relation among the groups considered. The lowest frequencies of the gene Gc 2 correspond to regions where sunlight is stronger. There is also a north‐south gradient in the Gc IF gene frequency. This seems to parallel the gradient seen in skin pigmentation
