G-6-PD polymorphism and racial admixture in the Cuban population.

The frequencies of the Gd-A, Gd-A- and Gd-B alleles have been estimated in a random sample of 455 female and 405 male high school students from Habana. The estimates of the Negro and Caucasian relative contributions to the present genetic make-up of the Habana population, based on these gene frequencies, are 0.20 and 0.80 respectively.
