Summary
The polymorphism of red cell enzymes (AcP, EsD, GPT and 6-PGD) and of serum protein (Gc) was examined in samples of unrelated individuals living in Fukushima Prefecture. Gc subtypes were determined by isoelectric focusing and immunofixation. It was found, in the formers, the gene frequencies of AcPA, EsD1, GPT1 and 6-PGDA to be 0.229, 0.634, 0.623 and 0.921, and in the latter, Gc1F, Gc1S, Gc2 and Gcothers to be 0.4854, 0.2402, 0.2469 and 0.0276, respectively. Two of rare phenotypic variants of Gc were also described.
