Summary
The red cell GLO phenotypes were determined in two Polish population samples. A total of 1310 people from the region of Lublin (Southeastern Poland, n=797) and Wrocŀaw (Southwestern Poland, n=513) were investigated. The gene frequencies were calculated for GLO1 (=0.4427) and GLO2 (=0.5573). The evaluation of 372 mother-child pairs showed no deviation from a hereditary hypothesis.
