Summary
‘PGM1 subtyping’ can be clearly demonstrated by horizontal electrophoresis in acid starch gel. Because of the different cathodal mobilities of PGM1-gene products, the allelic superscripts for PGM1 were designated as 1F, 1S, and 2F, 2S, respectively. Gene frequencies of a population sample from Southwestern Germany are presented. They fit in well with other, previously published data on this matter.
