Summary

Esterase D (EsD) was typed in 2,367 unrelated healthy blood donors from Yamagata and Miyagi districts, north-eastern area of Japan. The gene frequencies observed were: EsD1=0.642, EsD2=0.358. In these blood donors two rare EsD phenotypes, EsD 3-2 and a new variant, were found. As for this new variant, the mode of hereditary transmission was discussed by family study.

Zusammenfassung

Esterase D Phänotypen von 2,367 unverwandten Blutspendern in Yamagata und Miyagi, einer nordöstlichen Gegend Japans wurden stärkegelelektrophoretisch untersucht. Die Häufigkeit der Allele war: EsD1=0.642, EsD2=0.358. In diesen Stichproben wurden zwei seltene Phänotypen, EsD 3-2 und eine neue Variante, beobachtet. Der Vererbungsmodus der neuen Variante wurde auf Grund der Blutuntersuchungen der Familienmitglieder diskutiert.
