Distribution of glyoxalase I (GLO) variants in Western Europe and the Indian subcontinent

摘要: English, Italian (including Sardinian), and Spanish populations from Europe Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Punjabi, other the Indian subcontinent currently living either in Birmingham or India were screened for electrophoretically detectable genetic variants of red cell glyoxalase I (GLO), their frequencies reported. All western European investigated, including those reported, exhibited an incidence close to 44% GLO1 gene. The frequency distribution gene various subcontinent, contrast, was found range between 0.15 0.33. These observations suggest that general are genetically more homogeneous than subcontinent.
