Abstract excerpt
A genetic study was carried out on phenotype and gene frequencies of the genetic markers in four red cell enzymes, acid phosphatase (ACP1), esterase D (ESD), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) and phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) among the Japanese population living on Izena Island of Okinawa Prefecture. The gene frequencies obtained were ACP1*A = 0.284, ACP1*B = 0.716, ESD*1 = 0.436, ESD*2 = 0.564, PGD*A = 0.947,...
