Summary
A survey of a number of unselected sera indicated the presence of a variant allele of mitochondrial glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (Got m 2) in Japanese with appreciable frequency, which was confirmed in white blood cells. The mode of an autosomal codominant inheritance was confirmed by two independent family studies.
