Abstract

A genetic marker for the γA2 immunoglobulin has been delineated by precipitating and haemagglutination inhibition techniques with a human antiserum. The marker varies widely in incidence in different population groups. Although associated with all the major Gm gene complexes, a close linkage to the Gm system was found in family studies.
