Abstract excerpt
Phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1) phenotyping of 1,128 Chinese blood donors was performed by thin-layer isoelectric focusing on agarose. The PGM1 gene frequencies were: 1A, 0.6005; 1B, 0.1500; 2A, 0.1510; 2B, 0.0973, and rare variants, 0.0058. The rare variants found in this series were PGM1 W21, W2, W3, W6 and W9 (or W10) with PGM1 W21 being the most common variant among Chinese with a phenotype frequency of 0.8%.
