Phenotypes of inter-alpha-trypsin-inhibitor (ITI) have been determined by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gels followed by immunofixation. The phenotype frequencies of ITI in the Han population in Chengdu, P.R. China have been investigated using this method. In addition, family studies have been conducted in 21 families. The results show that ITI is polymorphic in the Han population in Chengdu, China. The allele frequencies are as follows: ITI1 = 0.5763. ITI2 = 0.4107, ITI*3 = 0.0130. ITI is thus a new and promising genetic marker that can be used in the field of forensic haematogenetics.
