“…The high frequency of the EsD2 gene noted by Welch and Lee [1974] was con firmed by Cartwright et al [1976], with population data from the present study. The Limbu and Rai with values of 0.4397 and 0.3931 are considerably in excess of the Gurung who, with Assamese, occupy an in termediate position compared with other In dian populations.…”

Nepalese blood samples were tested for two plasma proteins and seven red cell enzyme systems. Polymorphic variation was present for the haptoglobin protein system and for the acid phosphatase, phosphoglucomutase locus 1, adenylate kinase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase loci controlling red cell enzyme systems. Gene frequencies are compared between the eastern and western Nepalese tribes, and with the distribution pattern known in other South and South-East Asian population groups. The possible interpretations of these observations are discussed.

“…The esterase D 2 gene frequency in the Indian region is some 20 per cent or more (Papiha and Nahar, 1977) and in populations from Iraq and Kuwait (Papiha and Al-Agidi, 1976;Cartwright, 1976) likewise. The esterase D 2 frequency in Pushtu and Dari (11 and 10 per cent respectively) are more like European frequencies.…”

The gene frequencies in samples of two language groups from Afghanistan, comprising 104 Pushtu and 179 Dari subjects living in Kabul, have been examined for 24 loci. Some systems suggest greater affinity to the west (e.g. the MS gene combination, the esterase D2 allele), some to the east (e.g. the K blood group), while others are intermediate between those of India and the Orient on the one hand, and Europe and the West on the other. In general, the gene frequency levels are much as would be expected from the geographical position of the country. The two language samples are essentially similar in gene frequency, so any earlier gene frequency differences that may have existed between the language groups are no longer distinguishable. However, the amount of heterozygosity shows that the Kabul population is not yet homogeneous and that the two endogamous linguistic groups remain disparate to some extent.

BACKGROUND:The allele frequencies in human populations are used in different areas such as population genetics, forensic genetics and anthropological studies. Various different populations have been investigated their allele frequency distributions of polymorphic traits. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:The allele frequency distributions of four red cell enzyme (ACP1, PGM1, GLO1, ESD) and two serum protein systems (HP, PI subtypes) were analyzed in Turkish population from Adana area, Turkey, in order to enlarge our knowledge on the genetic composition of Turkish population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Venous blood samples taken from 200 unrelated Turkish individuals were transported to the Forensic Serology Laboratory of Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical University (Szeged/Hungary) for phenotyping. The phenotypes of ACP1, PGM1, GLO1, ESD, and HP systems were determined by means of starch gel electrophoresis, while PI subtypes were obtained by polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing method. The allele frequencies were calculated by gene counting. RESULTS:The calculated frequencies of the alleles are as follows: ACP1*A = 0.250 ± 0.021, ACP1 *B = 0.693 ± 0.023, ACP1 *C = 0.057 ± 0.011; PGM1 *1 = 0.710 ± 0.022, PGM1*2 = 0.288 ± 0.022, PGM1*6 = 0.002 ± 0.002; GLO1*1 = 0.373 ± 0.024, GLO1*2 = 0.627 ± 0.024; ESD*1 = 0.805 ± 0.019, ESD*2 = 0.195 ± 0.019; HP*1 = 0.265 ± 0.022, HP*2 = 0.735 ± 0.022; PI*M1 = 0.887 ± 0.015, PI*M2 = 0.010 ± 0.004, PI*M3 = 0.095 ± 0.014, PI*S = 0.008 ± 0.004. CONCLUSIONS:The comparison of the data with those of Asian and European populations showed that the allele frequencies of ACP1, ESD and HP are similar or close to those of Asian populations, whereas those of PGM1 and PI come close to European populations. The allele frequency of GLO1 system is inbetween those of Asians and Europeans.
