The genetic polymorphism of eight red cell enzymes was examined in three samples from Gran Canaria and one from Equatorial Guinea. The presence of African genes in the Gran Canaria population showed an African admixture estimated to 6–9%. The genetic distance between Gran Canaria and Equatorial Guinea was 0.033, and that between Gran Canaria and the Spanish mainland only 0.007.
