BF- and PI-type determinations have been performed in a population from Sardinia. The corresponding allele frequencies are as follows: BF*S = 0.5783, BF*F = 0.2189, BF*S07 = 0.0046, BF*F1 = 0.1982 and PI*M1= 0.5872, PI*M2 = 0.2041, PI*M3 = 0.0459, Pl*M4 = 0.0940, PI*S = 0.0619, PI*Z = 0.0046, PI*N = 0.0023. Whereas the BF system shows the originality of the Sardinian population with a very high BF*F1 allele frequency, the PI system does not reveal any characteristic features.
