M. Dulmer et al., HUMAN OROSOMUCOID (ORM1) SUBTYPING - FURTHER POPULATION GENETIC DATA AND REPORTS ON THE FEASIBILITY TO TYPE AGED BLOOD-SAMPLES AND STAINS, Journal of forensic sciences, 43(2), 1998, pp. 413-416
Genetic polymorphism of serum orosomucoid (ORM1) was investigated in 1
072 unrelated German Caucasians using isoelectric focusing followed by
Western blotting and ELA. The estimated allele frequencies were ORM1
F1 = 0,5690, ORM1 S = 0,3927, ORM1 *F2 = 0,0368, ORM1 *F2S = 0,0009 a
nd ORM1 F5 = 0,0005. The method was successfully applied to determine
ORM1 phenotypes in aged blood samples and blood stains. The results i
ndicated that the ORM protein is a informative and remarkably robust b
lood group system.
