Observations on the distribution of the Gm- and Inv-groups in Hungary

Summary

The authors report the distribution of Gm- and Inv-groups in Hungary. In our total material of 378 males and females of different age, the frequency of the following Gm-phenotypes turned out: Gm (1, 2, 4, 5, 10)=4.1%, Gm(1,-2, 4, 5, 10)=25.3%, Gm(1,-2,-4,-5,-10)=3.4%, Gm(1, 2,-4,-5,-10)=0.4%, and Gm(-1,-2, 4, 5, 10)=66.8%. The alleles frequencies have been calculated to be Gm¹=0.1622, Gm^{1, 2}=0.0228, Gm^{4, 5, 10}=0.8150. Observed and expected Gm-phenotypes frequencies are in good agreement under the assumption of the 3-alleles-model Gm¹, Gm^{1, 2}, Gm^{4, 5, 10}. The Invphenotypes frequencies came out to be: Inv(1,-2)=0.5$, Inv(1,2)=8.2%, and Inv(-1,-2)=91.3%.

Among our Hungarian samples no significant differences were found, neither in the distribution of Gm-nor Inv-phenotypes and alleles. There exist no significant differences in the distribution of Inv-groups between our Hungarian sample and two German samples, but the Hungarian sample differs clearly from Czechoslovakian and Yugoslavian ones in the distribution of the Gm-phenotypes.
