Gene frequencies of soluble glutamic-pyruvic-transaminase in a northern German population (Hamburg)

Human Red Cell Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase Polymorphism in Serbia, Yugoslavia

“…GPT gene frequencies observed for the population of Serbia (Yugoslavia) do not differ significantly from those estimated for other European populations [range 0.50-0.57: Chen et al, 1972;Brinkmann et al, 1972;Facchini et al, 1980;Welch, 1972;Olaisen, 1975] but differ from those obtained for African populations, where the G PT frequency is much higher, being within 0.79-0.92 [Chen, 1972].…”

Genetic Studies of Red Cell Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase in Some Japanese Populations

“…GPT typing and quantitative enzyme assay were performed immediately after hemolysis of packed red cells. Electrophoretic separation was carried out according to a modified version of the method described by Brinkmann et al [1972] and enzyme activity was measured by the method described by Chen et al [1972], as modified by us [Nishigaki et al, 1978].…”

“…Since it was shown by Chen and Giblett [1971] that human red cell sGPT exhibited genetic polymorphism, many authors have reported data on the distribution of two common alleles, Gpt1 and Gpt-, in popula tions of various ethnic groups [Kômpf, 1971;Chen et al, 1972;Brinkmann et al, 1972;Seth, 1974;Ishimoto and Kuwata, 1974;Olaisen, 1975;Welch et al, 1975;Blake, 1976]. So far, the Gpt1 frequency has been found to be higher among individ uals of African, Papuan and Australian ori gins than among those of other ethnic groups.…”

Genetic polymorphism of human red cell glutamic-pyruvic transaminase in an isolated community in western Japan

“…Many authors have reported data on GPT gene frequencies in various populations, and so far, the Gpt 1 gene frequency has been found to be higher among individuals of African, Papuan and Australian origins than among those of other ethnic groups (Chen and Giblett, 1971;KSmpf, 1971;Chen et aL, 1972;Olaisen and Teisberg, 1972;Brinkmann et al, 1972;Seth, 1974;Olaisen, 1975;Welch et aL, 1975;Blake, 1976).…”
