  • Title: Quantitative evidence of a silent gene Po of human red cell acid phosphatase in south Polish population.
    Author: Turowska B, Bogusz M, Stojek T.
    Journal: Forensic Sci; 1977; 10(2):109-16. PubMed ID: 903046.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of red cell acid phosphatase types in 3244 unrelated Polish adults is reported. Gene frequencies Pa = 0.3594, Pb = 0.5643 and Pc = 0.0763 were obtained. In a forensic case of disputed paternity an apparent mother/child incompatibility respect to red cell acid phosphatase was found, the mother appearing as type B and the child as type A. Determination of acid phosphatase activity suggested the presence of a silent gene Po. The phosphatase levels were about half the values expected as determined in 237 adults representing the different phenotypes.
