Transferrin (Tf) C subtypes were determined in 419 unrelated adult Finns. The calculated gene frequencies were C1 = 0.738, C2 = 0.097 and C3 = 0.133. The Tf phenotypes in 150 mother-child pairs were in accordance with autosomal codominant inheritance. This material included a rare TfC allele product in three individuals, apparently the same in all cases.
