PMCID: PMC1685744  PMID: 6554032

Abstract

Investigations of local Minnesota whites and blacks demonstrated five new variants at the BF locus. All specimens were tested according to the recommended procedure of Mauff for proper nomenclature assignment and family data obtained when possible. This report brings the number of documented BF variants to 18.
