“…Acid phosphutase The frequencies of pa, pb, and pc were found to be 0.25, 0.76, and 0.003 in the Chinese of the Fujien province. Similar frequencies of pa and pb were observed in the ethnic minorities of China (Goedde et al, 1984a) (Blake et al, 1973;Lai and Kwa, 1968;Chan 1971) and in Japanese (Toyomasu, 1974). The frequency ofp" was much lower (0.14) in the Chinese of Hopeh province, but the sample was rather small.…”

A total of 205 Han Chinese from two eastern provinces (155 from Fujien and 50 from Hopeh) were tested for the distribution of six blood groups--A1A2BO, MN, Rhesus (CcDEe), Lewisa, Kell (Kk) and Fya--four serum proteins--albumin and haptoglobin types; transferrin and group-specific component subtypes--haemoglobin, and twelve red cell enzyme systems--glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, lactate and malate dehydrogenases; acid phosphatase, esterate-D, glyoxalase I, adenylate kinase, glucose-phosphate isomerase, phosphoglucomutase (locus 2), and superoxide dismutase types; and phosphoglucomutase (locus 1) subtypes. The frequencies of blood groups were more or less within the reported frequencies in the Chinese. However the frequency of le was much lower in the present series. The Chinese are characterized by low p1, Ro, k, le, and a high Fya in general. P2 was lacking in the Chinese. There were some differences in the blood group frequencies in the two provinces. The frequencies of Hp alleles; Tf and Gc subtypes show characteristic mongoloid features with high Hp1, TfD, and GcIF. The frequency of TFC2 was higher in the Fujien province than that in Hopeh. At the hemoglobin locus only one Hb AD was detected, while the frequency of the beta-thalassemia trait was 0.03. No red cell G6PD deficiency or variant was detected. The distribution of red cell enzymes showed Mongoloid characteristics with low PGDC, AK2, ESD1, GLO1, and higher pa. PGM1 subtypes also had Mongoloid characteristics with lower PGM2+ and higher PGM2-. The phenotypic distribution of all the fifteen polymorphic loci was at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both the Chinese populations.

“…The first investigation of genetic polymorphism for red-cell acid phosphatase in a Chinese population was undertaken by Lai and Kwa (1968), who studied the distribution of the enzyme in 620 Chinese blood donors in Singapore. Shih and Hsia (1969) subsequently conducted a survey in Taiwan, and Blake et al (1973) made a further study amongst blood donors in Singapore.…”

Four red cell enzyme systems were studied in Malaysian mothers and their newborn belonging to three racial groups, the Malays, Indians and Chinese. No significant heterogeneity was observed in the distribution of phosphoglucomutase (PGM₁), adenosine deaminase (ADA), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) and acid phosphatase (AP) phenotypes between mothers and their newborn of the three groups. Pooled mother and child acid phosphatase data show a significant heterogeneity between the Malays and Chinese, and between the Malays and Indians. This is comparable to previous studies conducted. For the placental phosphoglucomutase (PGM₃) system, a significant heterogeneity was observed between the Chinese and Malays only. No significant heterogeneity was detected in the distribution of PGM, ADA and 6PGD phenotypes among Malays, Chinese and Indians.
