Abstract
Isoelectric focusing was used to investigate the genetic variants of t he human plasma orosomucoid ORM1 and ORM2 gene loci in samples of Egyp tians, Sudanese, and Qataris. The study populations were classified in to 28 ORM phenotypes determined by 10 ORM1 and 9 ORM2 alleles that inc luded 2 new alleles, designated ORM1B13 and ORM2*H21. Family studies of these new alleles are in accordance with codominant autosomal inher itance. A new interpretation for two previously reported alleles, ORM1 C6 and ORM2*H17, is also presented.
