Daten zur Populationsgenetik der 6-Phosphogluconat-Dehydrogenase

Summary Four Malaysian racial groups were typed for red cell adenylate kinase: 324 Malays, 300 Chinese, 256 Indians, and 483 West Malaysian Aborigines. The AK² gene frequencies found were 0.015, 0.0, 0.086, and 0.013, respectively. All 244 Malays, 170 Chinese, 153 Indians, and 132 West Malaysian Aborigines examined had the common cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase phenotype.

Zusammenfassung Vier Rassengruppen aus Malaysia wurden auf Adenylatkinase-Varianten hin untersucht: 324 Malayen, 300 Chinesen, 256 Inder und 483 Eingeborene von West-Malaysia. Die Genhäufigkeiten des Allels AK² waren: 0,015, 0,0, 0,086 und 0,013. Alle 244 Malayen, 170 Chinesen, 153 Inder und 132 west-malaysischen Eingeborenen, die daraufhin untersucht werden konnten, hatten den häufigen Phänotyp der cytoplasmatischen Malat-Dehydrogenase.
