Summary

10 cases of an S-MDH variant have been detected in New Guinea. 3 cases were found among 199 samples from the Fore linguistic group and 6 cases among 9 related members of a family from the Agarabi linguistic group, both groups being located in the Eastern Highlands. 1 case was found in 24 samples from the Sepik district. The new variant has been given the trivial name S-MDH “New Guinea-1”.
