We studied the possible effects of climatic factors on the world distribution of alleles determining alpha 2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) phenotypes in human populations. New data on AHSG polymorphism in certain ethnic groups of Russia are presented. All available data on the distribution of AHSG gene fre...
