SUBTYPE DETERMINATION OF PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE (PGM) AND GROUP- SPECIFIC COMPONENT (Gc) BY ISOELECTRIC FOCUSING AMONG SOME IRANIAN POPULATIONS

Abstract

A total of 781 serum and 827 red cell samples from four populations of Iran (Kashan, Ardestan, Asrara and Ardabil) were sub-typed by isoelectric focusing for group-specific componet and red cell enzyme Phosphoglucomutase, locus one, respectively. Heterogeneity test revealed no significant differences among the populations studied regarding both PGM1 and Gc systems.
