A New Bisalbuminaemic Family

Serum Albumin Variation in Indian Populations

“…that this variant was similar in migration to Albumin Gainesville [2] found in an American family of Irish descent and to the variant found in a French family [3]. This is the first report of albumin variation in Indian populations and as was the case with one of the variants reported from South East Asian Regions it appears similar to a previously-described Caucasian variant and is present in widely separated populations.…”

Sjogren-Larsson syndrome in two sibs with peripheral nerve involvement and bisalbuminaemia

“…The pattern does not fit any defined entity. For instance, it has been found in normal people (Sandor et al, 1965), in some members of a family with goitre and deafness as well as the healthy ones (Fraser et al, 1959), and in a peculiar condition which presented as 'blue hands' (Franglen et al, 1960). It has therefore been considered as an asymptomatic autosomal dominant characteristic.…”

Unusual Albumin Variants in Indonesians and Malayan Aborigines

“…Albumin Gombak, the variant found in a Malayan aborigine and her sister, had a mobility indistinguishable from albumin Paris [Sandor et a/., 1965] on comparative electrophoresis in 2 buffer systems. Both of these variants, unlike most albumin variants, appear to have some instability compared to normal albumin on prolonged storage.…”
