Two population groups in South Korea, one from Kwangju and one from Kangreung, were studied in regard to the erythrocyte enzyme polymorphisms GPT, ACP, GLO, ESD, 6PGD, ADA, AK, PGP and subtypes of PGM1 as well as regarding the serum protein variants of C3, HP, BF, PLG, AMY and the subtypes of GC, TF and PI. The results were compared with data of the population groups from the area of Cheju Island, Taejon and Seoul. The Korean population showed a rather high degree of genetic homogeneity.
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.
