| Abstract: | Summary 17 examples of genetically controlled variation of LDH have been encountered in a survey of 1331 Indian blood samples collected in Calcutta and Madras. 15 of the variants (10 in Calcutta and 5 in Madras) were identical and have been given the trivial name  Calcutta-1 . The other 2 examples were found in Madras and have been called Madras-1. Calcutta-1 is an A-subunit variant, whilst Madras-1 is a B-subunit variant. The overall frequency of LDH variants in India (1.28 per cent) is among the highest reported for any population in the world. |
