Human Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The polymorphism of glyoxalase I (GLO I) was demonstrated in the three main racial groups (Caucasian, Mulattoes, and Negroes) of the Cuban population. The GLO I gene frequencies were used to estimate the relative contribution of Negro and Caucasian genes to the genetic make-up of these three groups.
