“…In European populations, the frequencies of the AK 2 gene lie between the limits of 0.015 and 0.056 (Bhasin and Fuhrmann, 1972). Reported values in the Middle East range from (Tills et al, 1971a). The present value of 0.0498 falls within this range and demonstrates a similarity between different populations of the Middle East and Europe.…”

“…The absence of the AK2 gene was also demonstrated in the neigh boring Sivva oasis . The AK2 gene was found with a frequency of 0.05 in Europe, a lower incidence in the Middle East and West Africa, and was absent or rare in most African Negroes [Tills et al, 1970;G iblett. 1969],…”

The populations of two Western Desert Egyptian oases have been studied for various genetic markers of the blood and some anthropological characters. Hb AS was found in 9%. Blood group frequencies were similar in both oases; 10.2% were RhD-negative, G-6-PD deficiency was found in 7.5 %; Gd^A had a frequency of 1 % in El-Kharga and 16% in El-Dakhla; PGDC was 5.5% in El-Kharga and 6.2 % in El-Dakhla. All individuals examined were homozygous for AK¹; acid phosphatase gene frequencies in El-Kharga were P^a = 0.1475, P^c = 0.0164, P^r= 0.0164; in El-Dakhla, P^a = 0.0667, P^c = 0.00, P^r = 0.0333; in El-Kharga the Hp gene had a frequency of 0.4415, Hpo-o = 8.29%; in El-Dakhla, Hp¹ had a frequency of 0.3245, Hpo-o = 3.39%. The information provided points to a mixture of Caucasian and negroid features in the populations studied. The negroid influence is more marked in the El-Dakhla oasis. Head measurements show that El-Kharga males reveal more Caucasoid stock and are closer to the Upper Egyptians than most populations of the neighboring oases.

“…No homozygous AK 2-2 phenotypes were observed and the AK^ gene frequency of 0-02 is lower than that for a number of other Middle East populations, whieh range from 0-025-0-053 (Tills, Van Den Branden, Clements and Mourant, 1970b).…”

Summary Blood samples from a series of persons of Lebanese origin living in Sydney have been tested for 9 blood group, 5 serum protein and 16 red cell enzyme systems as well as haemoglobin types. The Lutheran, Kidd and Colton blood group systems and all the serum protein and enzyme group systems reported on here, except haptoglobin and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, have not been studied previously in Lebanese. There were no cases of glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency or abnormal haemoglobins nor were any unusual phenotypes detected in the other 29 systems investigated. In the blood group systems there was a relatively high A1/A2 ratio and low frequencies for the Rh ‐ve and Co(b+) phenotypes, but frequencies in the other systems were comparable with values found in studies of other Middle East or European populations. In the Kell system the possibility exists that the Lebanese may have an appreciable frequency of (K‐k‐). Gene frequencies for die serum protein systems were similar to other Middle East populations where comparable figures are available, and the same is true for the red cell enzyme systems. For glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphohexose isomerase, values obtained suggest that frequencies in north India are similar to those in Lebanon. The overall results are discussed in relation to selection in a migrant population.
