Untersuchungen �ber die alkalischen Serumphosphatasegruppen
The alkaline serum phosphatase groups are determined in a sample of 218 unrelated Greek males and females. Two different methods have been applied: that given by Arfors et al. (1963), and that given by Shreffler (1965). Both of them yielded nearly identical results. This seems to be important in respect to the comparison of results obtained by application of different methods. The relationships between the alkaline serum phosphatase groups and the AB0 blood groups could be confirmed. Against that no relationships to Hp-, Gc-, Gm-, Inv- and Lp-groups were to be observed. Comparing the frequencies of alkaline serum phosphatase groups in different white populations (Swedes, US-Americans, Engli…
On the geographical distribution of pseudocholinesterase variants.
The incidence of pseudocholinesterase (PCHE equals E.C. 3.1.1.8) variants in samples of 8 different population (total of 2218 individuals) is reported. Together with previously mentioned data from the literature, a general survey on the geographical distribution of PCHE isoenzymes is given. Possible reasons for present-day heterogeneity of their distribution are also discussed. Concerning the incidence of the C5 variant, it is pointed out that the validity of applying population genetic models depends upon the accuracy of the genetic basis.
