Population genetics of soluble glutamic-pyruvic-transaminase in North Germans (L�beck)

Genetic polymorphism of human red cell glutamic-pyruvic transaminase in an isolated community in western Japan

“…Many authors have reported data on GPT gene frequencies in various populations, and so far, the Gpt 1 gene frequency has been found to be higher among individuals of African, Papuan and Australian origins than among those of other ethnic groups (Chen and Giblett, 1971;KSmpf, 1971;Chen et aL, 1972;Olaisen and Teisberg, 1972;Brinkmann et al, 1972;Seth, 1974;Olaisen, 1975;Welch et aL, 1975;Blake, 1976).…”

Genetic Studies of Red Cell Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase in Some Japanese Populations

“…Since it was shown by Chen and Giblett [1971] that human red cell sGPT exhibited genetic polymorphism, many authors have reported data on the distribution of two common alleles, Gpt1 and Gpt-, in popula tions of various ethnic groups [Kômpf, 1971;Chen et al, 1972;Brinkmann et al, 1972;Seth, 1974;Ishimoto and Kuwata, 1974;Olaisen, 1975;Welch et al, 1975;Blake, 1976]. So far, the Gpt1 frequency has been found to be higher among individ uals of African, Papuan and Australian ori gins than among those of other ethnic groups.…”
