Abstract
Two samples representing the Moslem and Christian communities of Jorda n were examined for the polymorphic serum proteins AHSG, BF, FXIIIB, C C, HP, PI, PLG, and TF. The results revealed similar allele distributi ons, and low interpopulation differentiation (G(ST) = 0.0004) between the two communities. The low HP1S (<0.12) allele frequencies and the comparatively high PLGB (>0.40) and BF*S.07 (congruent to 0.05) frequ encies are characteristic of the populations of this region.
