ACP and PGM1 polymorphisms in a Chilean population.

Gene Geogr

Department of Biology, School of Science, University of Valparaíso, Chile.

Published: December 1996

A random sample of 140 individuals from the population of Valparaíso, Chile, was studied for 2 polymorphic genetic markers. The gene frequency estimates were: ACP*A = 0.246 +/- 0.026 and PGM1*2 = 0.235 +/- 0.025. The comparison of ACP with data obtained from other populations indicates a similarity with Mongoloid groups whereas for PGM1, the comparison with the data obtained shows no significant difference from Caucasoid populations. These results indicate that the Valparaíso population is the result of genetic admixture of various populations.

The polymorphism of immunogenetic and biochemical markers has been studied in nine populations of five ethnic-geographic groups of Siberian (Tobol-Irtysh) Tatars. Data on the frequency distributions of 33 alleles and 6 haplotypes of 14 loci (ABO, RHD, RHC, RHE, P, KEL, HP, C'3, TF, GLO1, ESD, ACP, PGD, and PGM1) in sample of 354 subjects have been obtained. Comparison with other ethnic groups has shown that the gene pool of Tobol-Irtysh Tatars contains an ancient autochthonic genetic stratum similar to that found in the neighboring Ob' Ugrian population.

This study is a part of long-term investigations devoted to the analysis of the gene pool of Dagestan ethnic groups. The phenotype (in %), gene, and haplotype frequencies in Kumyk ethnic group are reported. A total of 39 alleles and six haplotypes of 14 loci (AB0, Rhesus, P, Levis, Kell, HP, GC, C'3, TF, 6PGD, GLO1, ESD, ACP, and PGM1) of immunobiochemical genetic marker systems were examined.

The work is part of a study of the gene pool for Daghestan ethnic groups. In total, 38 alleles and eight genotypes were studied at 14 loci (AB0, Rhesus, P, Lewis, Kell, HP, GC, C'3, TF, 6-PGD, GLO1, ESD, ACP, and PGM1) of immunogenetic and biochemical polymorphic gene systems. A high frequency of allele d of the Rhesus system was observed in all populations examined (0.

This study is part of long-term research in the gene pool of Dagestan ethnic groups. The phenotype (in percent), gene, and haplotype frequencies in three Avar populations are reported. A total of 37 alleles of 13 loci of immune and biochemical genetic marker systems (ABO, Rhesus, P, Lewis, HP, GC, C'3, TF, 6PGD, GLO1, ESD, ACP, and PGM1) have been studied.

A comparative evaluation of the cytological and dosimetric examination of the cohort comprised by VNIEF personnel subjected chronically to gamma-neutron ionizing radiation, as well as non-irradiated cohort is given. The obtained data on the influence of the occupational and on X-ray irradiation, age and smoking on the rate of structural genome damage, as well as the activity of the human repair system activity are presented. The influence of the individual heterozygosis by 9 polymorphous loci: Hp, Tf, Gc; 6-PGD, EsD, ACP, PGM1, microsatellite lici SCF1PO and F13AO1 is shown.
