Summary
Starch gel electrophoresis of erythrocyte phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1) of 17,126 Japanese from Hiroshima and Nagasaki was performed. Thirteen types of rare variants, 6 migrating anodally and 7 migrating cathodally to thea-band, were encountered in a total of 103 individuals. Family studies confirmed the genetic characteristics of most of them. The previous observation of the polymorphic occurrence of thePGM1 *7 allele in the Hiroshima and the Nagasaki populations was confirmed. A significant difference in the frequencies of rare variants between Hiroshima and Nagasaki was observed. A stronger influence of the migrating stream from the south through the Ryukyu Archipelago to Nagasaki is postulated on the basis of the frequencies ofPGM1 * 3NG1 andPGM1 * 3OKINAWA.
