For the enzyme 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, a table is given of all available data on the distribution of isozyme phenotypes. The calculated frequencies of all but the commonest gene are also tabulated. The frequencies of the PGDC allele are plotted on a world map. Possible interpretations of the observations are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
