The lipoprotein distribution by paper electrophoresis showed a characteristic pattern with abnormally low α1 fraction and high concentrations of the β fractions. There is no relationship between age and serum lipoprotein distribution. A correlation was found between the electrophoretic pattern, liver function tests, and the E/C index. Similar changes but of lesser degree were found in sickle cell anaemia. Liver damage is thought to be the probable cause of the reduced α1 fraction.}, issn = {0021-9746}, URL = {https://jcp.bmj.com/content/14/4/361}, eprint = {https://jcp.bmj.com/content/14/4/361.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Clinical Pathology} }
