...N. Saha A total of 215 subjects comprising 95 Chinese, 66 Malays and 54 Indians were investigated for restriction fragment length polymorphisms of the tissue-type plasminogen activator (PLAT) gene at an Eco Rlsite using the probe ptPA-4352. The phe-notypic distribution showed a good agreement...

...M. Shintani; K. Minaguchi; K.A. Lim; M. Hashimoto; K. Suzuki Salivary proline-rich protein (PRP) polymorphism, PRH1, PRH2, Ps, Pm (PmF), PmS and Gl, were investigated in three ethnic groups in Singapore: Chinese, Malays and Indians. The phenotype and gene frequencies were presented and comparison...

... of southeast Asia comprising 194 Chinese, 159 Filipinos and 73 Dravidian Indians were investigated for serum paraoxonase polymorphism. The frequency of PON*B was found to be 0.14 in the Chinese, 0.04 in the Filipinos and 0.18 in Dravidian Indians. The distribution of the PON phenotypes was at Hardy-Weinberg...

...L.J. York; W.H. Marshall; S.N. Huang An allele of the seventh complement component, C7*2, which is very rare in Europeans, has been found at balanced polymorphic frequency (0.15) in Chinese. This marker may be useful for anthropological studies. 2 9 2008 © 1986 S. Karger AG, Basel 1986...

...Y.-K. Xu; W.G. Ng α-Galactosidase and β-galactosidase activities have been determined in leukocyte preparations from 100 randomly selected Chinese adults. For α-galactosidase, two groups with low activities were identified: group I consisted of 3 females having activities below 40% of normal...

...R.J. Trent; V. Ferguson; M.S. Hertzberg; J. Rutherford; K.N.P. Mickleson β-Globin gene haplotypes obtained in Polynesian Samoans were similar to those described in Southern Chinese. An atypical Hindlll restriction fragment length polymorphism detected with pRK29, a 3’ β-globin gene probe...

...E. Beutler; B. Westwood; W. Kuhl; Y.E. Hsia Sequence analysis has been performed on the DNA of 13 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient males from Hawaii, 6 of Filipino, 6 of Laotian, and 1 of Chinese extraction. Four different mutations were found: A→T at cDNA nt 835, G→A at nt 871, C...

...G.L. Zhang; Q.H. Zhang; S.Q. Zheng; G. Lee; M.R. Chow; Alice Lee; T.D. Lee A serological approach is used to confirm subtypes of HLA-B13 originally observed by one-dimensional isoelectric focusing (1D-IEF). Sixty anti-B13 alloantibody sera were screened against Chinese panel cells. Two clusters...

...N. Saha; J.S.H. Tay; B. Murugasu; H.B. Wong A series of Chinese newborns of consecutive normal vaginal deliveries were investigated for the distribution of serum transferrin subtypes by polyacrylamide gel iso-electric focusing at pH 3.5–9.5. Newborns whose mothers had a history of previous...

.... The corresponding figure for Chinese was 66.0%. There were no significant differences between Thais and Chinese. The result shows a lower frequency of rapid acetylators in Thais than in previous reports on Thais. 2 9 2008 © 1984 S. Karger AG, Basel 1984 Copyright / Drug Dosage / Disclaimer Copyright...

...M. Lin-Chu; J.H. Loo; M.A. Hayward Phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1) phenotyping of 1,128 Chinese blood donors was performed by thin-layer isoelectric focusing on agarose. The PGM1 gene frequencies were: 1A, 0.6005; 1B, 0.1500; 2A, 0.1510; 2B, 0.0973, and rare variants, 0.0058. The rare variants found...
