Untersuchungen �ber die alkalischen Serumphosphatasegruppen

subject

description

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, Englishmen, and Greeks) —in consideration of the AB0 blood groups—it was to be seen that there exist clear differences between them. As it is pointed out the reasons for this cannot be seen in methodological factors only, but there are indications to the assumption, that they might be caused by genetic factors, too. This possibility is project to further research, which will determine the alkaline serum phosphatase groups in different European populations by application of the same method.
