    Journal: Gene Geogr; 1988; 2(2-3):79-84. PubMed ID: 2978989.
    Abstract:
    A genetic study was carried out on phenotype and gene frequencies of the genetic markers in four red cell enzymes, acid phosphatase (ACP1), esterase D (ESD), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD) and phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) among the Japanese population living on Izena Island of Okinawa Prefecture. The gene frequencies obtained were ACP1*A = 0.284, ACP1*B = 0.716, ESD*1 = 0.436, ESD*2 = 0.564, PGD*A = 0.947, PGD*C = 0.053, PGM1*1- = 0.112, PGM1*1+ = 0.602, PGM1*2- = 0.161, PGM1*2+ = 0.125. The population living on Izena Island is characterized by higher ACP1*A and PGM1*2 gene frequencies than those of Tokyo population.
