Abstract (EN): Genetic polymorphism in transferrin (TF) and in the haemoglobin alpha chain (HBA) was detected in the brown hare (Lepus europaeus) from Austria and Czechoslovakia by means of horizontal agarose and starch gel electrophoresis, respectively. Genetic analyses of complete families suggest that the TF and the HBA systems are each controlled by one autosomal gene locus with two codominant alleles. The distribution of both polymorphisms among some free-ranging Austrian brown hare populations was examined and the observed genotypes were in good agreement with the Hardy-Weinberg expectations. A comparison between the brown hare and the rabbit revealed no bands in common. The HB beta-chain was monomorphic in all specimens investigated.
