Study of a further case of bisalbuminemia in Brittany]

A rapidly migrating variant of albumin has been discovered in a 28-year-old breton woman. At least eight relatives also bear the trait. This new variant is described in terms of its electrophoretic mobilities, immunological properties and heat- and storage stability. Two other reports of the slow type are presented, but no family study was performed in these cases. It is suggested that bisalbuminaemia could be a relatively common inherited condition in Brittany.
